Yeah for US it needs to be:

City, State, Country

Also not clear if your mapper was expecting “United States” or “United States of America”

Honestly postal code is better. There are many cities with the same name in the same state. Generally postal codes are logical boundaries.

Much harder to geolocate internationally. You really need a geocoding service that accepts flexible input text, narrows the result set, and lets the user pick one.
