The region shown for Telangana is Andhra Pradesh and the region shown for Andhra Pradesh is Telangana. Shown in the screenshots below.

The region name and ISO code is of Andhra Pradesh but the map shows Telangana region for IN-AP. For IN-TG (Telangana), the region shown in maps is of Andhra Pradesh.

For the region GB-LND, the map shows the region name as city which needs to be corrected.

This issue makes it difficult to locate the region.  
Please let know the timeline of the fix for this.

Hi @Sinchana_P. Thanks for reporting the errors! We should be able to fix this soon. I've opened a couple of issues where we will track this.

> Looks like we only need to fix the region names in the \[Administrative regions layer\](https://maps.elastic.co/#file/administrative\_regions\_lvl2). This should not require a new version of the layer. 
> 
> The names and ISO codes appear to be correct in the \[India States and Territories layer\](https://maps.elastic.co/#file/india\_states\_v1) so we don't need changes there.

> The region name for the GB-LND region is currently "City". I believe this should… be "City of London" (\[source\](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:GB)). I think we can fix this without creating a new version number.
