Tableau - Map is Reversed

Has anyone had issues with Tableau Maps displaying backwards? I believe the only workaround for this would be to have my own custom background image and supply the min/max lat/lon.

My data is outlined as the following, and is plotted using the lat/lon in the data.

City | Latitude_DC | Longitude_DC

The not-so-evident and not-the-best solution that pops to mind is the one provided in the comments, simply dragging/moving the map using the mouse and publishing the dashboard without resetting the axis.

In your dashboard you can even create a small floating text-box alerting people to not pin the map if it's something you might be concerned.

I'm not sure about how Tableau's algorithm works to decide that the best map position for your data is putting the United States at right, and I don't think there's a real fix for that (if it's considered a bug to be fixed).
