have some important limitations.<\/p>\n<p>First, they do <strong>not<\/strong> work well when displaying something like U.S. states plus European countries; you should display countries <em>or<\/em> states\/provinces, but not multiple &#8220;region types&#8221; on the same map.<\/p>\n<p>Second, you <strong>must<\/strong> have an internet connection to use this feature because each Map relies on Bing (Microsoft\u2019s search engine) to show the correct areas.<\/p>\n<p>Third, PowerPoint Maps <strong>crash frequently<\/strong>, especially when you\u2019re plotting something complex, such as 100+ countries.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, unlike standard graphs such as bar and line charts, <strong>you cannot \u201cungroup\u201d a Map<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>So, instead of pasting in the Map as an
