I did also test with the provinces but it didn't work :(

Codes are coming from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:BE

It is a strange small country, but it would please me to see this one fixed..

I found the solutions for the regions by specifying the resolution, but the provinces
ain't working :(

So underlying example might be better.

[code emulator="http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization#geo_map"]
function drawVisualization() {
  var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
    ['Province', 'Popularity'],
    ['BE-WBR', 800],
    ['BE-VAN', 300],
    ['BE-VBR', 600],
['BE-WHT',650]   
  ]);
  var options = {
        region: 'BE',
        width: 556, 
        height: 347,
        resolution:'provinces'
      };

  var geochart = new google.visualization.GeoChart(
      document.getElementById('visualization'));
  geochart.draw(data, options);
}

Hi, we currently only support top-level regions in province mode. For Belgium this means
that the supported provinces are BE-BRU, BE-VLG, and BE-WAL. We are constantly working
hard on improving the GeoChart and its data.

Hello, There are actually 10 provinces in Belgium as per Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Belgium)
+ the Brussels area which has a specific status. What you call top-level regions for
Belgium actually represent the language frontier. Are there any plans to update Google
accordingly?
Thanks.

Hello all,

Any update on this issue? We are using Google API for a jobsite and we cover Belgium. We encounter the same issue. Please Google can you do something?

Thanks

Maybe there is a workaround?

Hi! Any updates on the Belgium provinces? Currently it's possible to draw only 3 regions on the map (BE-BRU, BE-VLG, and BE-WAL), but not provinces.

Does it help to use geochartVersion 11?

From the release notes: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/release_notes#current:-july-2020

GeoChart geochartVersion option, specifies the border data version; default is 10, but 11 is now available. regioncoderVersion option, specifies the region coder data version; default is 0, but 1 is now available.
