You are using a State column for the Address, which certainly isn’t enough information.  
You need at least a full address, but you will get best results with latitude and longitude.

The data in the colon looks like this “Amsterdam, Netherlands”

Have you tried using the Radar integration to get a pair of coordinates from your “State” column? I wonder if it works better than just feeding the city straight into the map.
