ArcGIS Map - Zoom Issues

[GiantsFan1989]

Hi all,

I am having issues with autozoom for the ArcGIS map in PowerBI (version 2025.1.800).  I have a data table with the following fields:

• Site (text)
• Latitude (number)
• Longitude (number)
• State (text)
• State FIPS (number)
• County (text)
• County FIPS (number)
• Full FIPS - joins State & County FIPS - converted to text

I entered the latitude and longitudue into the appropriate fields in the ArcGIS map, and I used the Full FIPS code as a Join Layer with "Dtl cnty - Counties".

I have two slicers, one for County and one for Site.  When I use the County Slicer, it properly autozooms to the selected County, but when I use the Site slicer, it tries to zoom in, but it then zooms back out to the County level.

I cannot use Azure map, as it is currently disabled by my organization.

How can I get the map to autozoom to the site level when I select a site?

Hi @GiantsFan1989 ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

Currently, the ArcGIS visual doesn’t retain zoom level when navigating between report pages.

To achieve full control over map interactions and zoom behavior, you would need to create a custom visual using mapping libraries like Leaflet.js or OpenStreetMap. These allow programmatic control over zoom levels and user interactions, and can be developed as Power BI custom visuals.

As a workaround, if you're filtering by city or location, you can use page filters, slicers, or bookmarks to simulate a zoomed-in experience when navigating to that page.

If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.

Hi @GiantsFan1989 I think it is because ArcGIS prioritizes the Join Layer (like Full FIPS) over the raw latitude/longitude coordinates when zooming. This causes it to snap back to the county level even after selecting a site. Try removing the join or using it as a reference layer instead. Also, confirm that the layer’s location type is set to Point for site-level zooming.

I changed the layer interaction behavior from Filter to Highlight.  This does help as an interim solution, but it isn't ideal. I don't see the option in the layer for Point.
