I recently published the scripts I used to build municipality-level maps for Japan using public administrative boundary data from Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT):

If you are trying to build your own custom Geomap, the repository may be useful as a practical reference.
It includes examples of:
adding name and hc-key attributes for ServiceNow map regions
reprojecting boundary data to Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
dissolving features by hc-key and simplifying geometry with Mapshaper
adding crs and hc-transform metadata for Highcharts / ServiceNow
generating a ServiceNow-ready Excel file for Location Mapping, using municipality names and the corresponding GeoJSON hc-key values
repositioning remote regions using custom hc-transform groups
The project is for Japan, but the same approach could also be useful when converting publicly available GIS data for other countries or regions into custom GeoJSON for ServiceNow Geomap.
The generated Japan Geomap is also available on ServiceNow Share:
If you are working on a similar custom map, I hope this gives you a useful starting point.
