    jeffclarke,

     

    First thing is to check whether you can access and use Bing map in IE.
    https://www.bing.com/maps

     

    I have tested it on my local environment, we can use use map visual without any issue. In your scenario, could you please try to updated your Power BI desktop to latest version and check if this issue persists or not. If the issue persists, please share your PBIX file, so that we can make further analysis.

     

    Regards,

    Charlie Liao

Hi- I recently downloaded the Desktop version and all the visualizations work, but for the two Maps. I uninstalled the porgram and reinstalled a couple times, but still it doesnt work. I see a blank square, with at times with the legend- but never the maps.

 

Please help.

    started experiencing the same issue in November. Randomly works and stops working. Send the .pbix file to a colleague and they can open and view the maps fine. Works on a laptop of mine sometimes, other time it doesn't. Wonder if something in the Nov update broke things for some folks?

      Same here as well. Build a dashboard, maps work fine. Close it down and open it up again, nothing.

        Through some trial and error I found logging out of my account in PowerBI Desktop fixed the issue for me.
