Embed API - Map Chart - Region with space in name

[Yarmo Mackenbach]

Hello all,

I was fiddling around with the new Embed API, and I noticed an annoying bug. As far as I could see, this hasn't been reported yet. Sorry if it has been already!

The code is basically a map showing the sessions in different provinces in the Netherlands.

And I do see the map with the regions colored... EXCEPT for the provinces/regions containing a space in their name! In this case: North Brabant, South Holland and North Holland.

Please help me here if someone knows a fix or a workaround, or else, please let the API guys know this!

Thanks,

Yarmo

var map = new gapi.analytics.googleCharts.DataChart({

    query: {

      ids: 'ga:XXXXX',

      metrics: 'ga:sessions',

      dimensions: 'ga:region',

      'filters': 'ga:country==Netherlands',

      'start-date': '30daysAgo',

      'end-date': 'yesterday'

    },

    chart: {

      container: 'map-container',

      type: 'GEO',

      options: {

        width: '100%',

        region: 'NL',

        resolution: 'provinces'

      }

    }

  });

I ran a new test, this time with France, same problem...

However, this time, one province with spaces in their name did pass: "Pays de la Loire".

Others like "Picardy" (no spaces) also did NOT pass...

Is there a language translation problem then??? Region names not matching?

[Yarmo Mackenbach]

Surely, others have had these problems too!

When I did the same test for provinces in Blegium, none were colored!!! Whereas the same map in Google Analytics was!

Is there something I am doing wrong?

See this thread

My solution was to map country names to ISO codes for use in Google maps

[chris@shufflepoint]

I see now they have ISO Code versions of geo dimensions
ga:countryIsoCode
ga:regionIsoCode

yes, use IsoCode dimensions, this should fix the problem.
