Malaysia is shown in a wrong place on a map

[chernyshevdv]

I am visualizing some data with plotly.express.scatter_geo. Malaysian data is shown in a wrong place:

Actually, Malaysia resides on both islands:

...but the capital Kuala Lumpur is situated in north-western part, and this part is associated with MY on maps by people.
Code is the following:

import nbformat
import plotly.express as px
import pandas as pd

...
fig = px.scatter_geo(df_merged, locations="alpha_3", size="devices", hover_name="country")
print(fig.to_html())

Package version is plotly==4.11.0.
JSON map is world_110m.json.

What is df_merged here?

What is df_merged here?

df_merged is a pandas DataFrame containing data similar to the following:

+---------------+---------+
|  alpha_3      | devices |
+---------------+---------+
|  MYS          |       2 |
+---------------+---------+
|  ROU          |       4 |
+---------------+---------+

I think this is because of the values in the dataset that you are using. Your source code is correct!

I know that my source code is correct :-) I believe that the library is showing Malaysia at a slightly wrong place.

@archmoj can you please check this against your recent work and see if it's still an issue?

This is also related to geo subplots not map & mapbox.
@ndrezn Please keep track of this ticket.
