Map request: up to date France, admin2

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Hi,

The Highcharts Map France, admin2 is not up to date.

They are three changes:

=> fr-ges-br and fr-ges-hr have merged = fr-a in the Highmap France (2015)

=> fr-cor-cs and fr-cor-hc have merged = fr-h in the Highmap France (2015)

=> the new Métropole de Lyon (without hc-key) is now seperate from Rhône department (fr-ara-rh)

Thank you.
Best regards.

Hi @ipolitique! Thank you for creating the ticket, I've added it to our backlog.

@ipolitique
Without links to official sources I am unable to verify if there are changes that should apply to the existing maps.
If the map division you require has an official definition we could add it as a new map.
France, admin2 is a map of departments - 2nd level of administrative division of France, after the 1st level - regions.

  1. Alsace (territorial community) consisting of the Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin departments. (since 2021 - not 2015).
  2. "As of 2019 Corse-du-Sud and Haute-Corse are still administrative departments, although they no longer have the status of departmental "territorial collectivities": region and department functions have been managed by a "single territorial collectivity" since 2018." - wikipedia.
  3. Métropole de Lyon is not a department - it is a collectivity with special status.
