as pic, no "Auto binned" on the latitude section, what's the data type for latitude needs in grip map?
Hi @Jay
Post "Diagnostic Info" from Admin > Troubleshooting, and which database type you're querying.
And what is the database column type of those two columns?
I use ms sql 2019, the columns is dec(18,7)

@Jay Try enabling "Periodically refingerprint tables" in Admin > Databases > (your-db), and do another sync of the database.
If that does not work, then please include the output of /api/field/:id where :id can be found by going to Admin > Data Model > (db) > (table) > (field) 
and looking in the URL, which ends with .../:id/general

I think the database sync is ok, when I change field name, use menu sync db schema does work.
the URL is
https://192.168.10.71/admin/datamodel/database/65/table/184/829/general
https://192.168.10.71/admin/datamodel/database/65/table/184/830/general
when use pin map, metabase can Identify longitude and latitude, maybe there is no issue on longitude and latitude fields.
@Jay You are misunderstanding. Binning is done via fingerprinting, so Metabase has to understand the contents of the data to show the correct binning information.
- Enabled "Periodically refingerprint tables" and click "Save" in Admin > Databases > (your-db)
- The click "Sync database schemas now" in Admin > Databases > (your-db)
- Look in the log and wait for sync to finish - Admin > Troubleshooting > Logs
- Refresh your browser and try to bin the fields
Go to these addresses and post the content here:
https://192.168.10.71/api/field/829 and https://192.168.10.71/api/field/830
Pin maps are not using binning, so that's why it's working.
I don't know what happen, it works right now!! anyway thanks!!
But I have a suggestion, because Taiwan is a small country, the 0.1 degree is still to large for us.
@Jay It works because it has generated a new fingerprint.
You're seeing this issue - see my comment for a possible workaround:

OK, Git it, thanks!!
Hello, i have the same error i already made your suggestion but doesn't work. Might you help me @flamber

@ArevaloJulie Go and read my comment, which tells you how to change the environment variable, when you start Metabase: https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/12257
@flamber I can't find it.
Find this https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/environment-variables.html#mb_breakout_bin_width but I don't know how to apply it
@ArevaloJulie Since you running Metabase with an Postgres application database, then you are already using environment variables to start Metabase with. But I have no idea if you are manually starting a JAR or running as a service.
And if you read the last comment on the issue, then it explains how to do it:
https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/12257#issuecomment-1111442033
I would recommend that you get help from whoever setup Metabase for you.
