It looks like Azure Maps Bounding Box data for New Zealand may be off. We see the following when we do an address search for "New Zealand" entityType: Country

(-178.9086067, -52.6090817, 179.0282187, -29.2312411)

Should this data not be:
(166.509144322, -46.641235447, 178.517093541, -34.4506617165)
