Dear Community,
I hope you are doing well. I am encountering an issue while trying to create a filled map in Power BI using latitude and longitude coordinates. My goal is to visualize random locations in the desert without using specific place names, such as states or regions.
However, when I input the latitude and longitude values, Power BI does not provide an option to display the data without a summary, unlike the functionality available in the Map visual. As a result, I am unable to achieve the intended visualization.
Could you kindly advise on how I can resolve this issue? Is there a workaround to ensure that the filled map properly plots the locations without requiring place names?
I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thank you in advance for your support.
Best regards,
Thank you for your clear guidance support.I want to draw them as show in picture attached. These coordinates are small polygons in desert and I want to fill these polygons with colors through legend option just to show the status of work in each of them.

You don't have polygons so better use a default map visual.
