Map location of US states
When I upload a spreadsheet where one column is the name of a US State, the Map View misdirects certain locations.
Washington -> locates to Washington DC rather than Washington State
Montana -> locates to Montana, Bulgaria
Florida -> locates to Florida, Uruguay
Georgia -> locates to Georgia (the country)

Unfortunately, the name of a US state alone can be insufficient for mapping the correct location. It is preferable to use one of the following location formats:
-city, state
-city, state, zip
-city, country
-zip code
