NoGeo feature. How to show on map the non-located records from your Excel file

It is not rare that after uploading your data in an Excel file, you realize that some of its records are not shown on the map.

It happens because the same territory is often written in many different ways. For example, you can find the Democratic Republic of the Congo listed as DR Congo, Congo Dem Rep, Congo (DR) and many others in distinct official documents

TargetMap accepts many of them, but it is impossible to have all territory nomenclatures in our Data Base. That is why we have developed the “NoGeo” feature to solve this problem when creating your map.
TargetMap detects which records have not been geolocated and shows them to you. You just have to replace them with the appropriate territory name in TargetMap.

The best way to learn how is watching the following video.

  1. with my datas, I was able to see that there some countries missing (maybe more juridictions), like Macao, Jersey, Guernsey,Caymans Islands, Bermuda, Lichtenstein, Netherlands Antilles, Aruba, etc...
    Will you put them on the map?
    thanks a lot for the work !
