Suggestions for improvements:

 

  1. Retain zoom level when cross-filtering from another chart. 
  2. Add tooltips.
  3. Allow customization of color schemes for dots. 
  4. Free-draw/polygon select (in addition to box-select that is there now).
  5. Up the limit for displaying non-lat/long locations--1500 isn't near enough.

    chrisu - thanks for the suggestions! Some of those are in the works, and we'll look into the others. Regarding #5 - the 1500 limit is only for locations that go to the Esri World Geocoding Service. You'll be able to tell these apart because they come back as points. Locations that come back as polygons (such as states, ZIP codes, countries, etc.) are processed through the Esri geoenrichment services and have a higher limit. 

     

    sjahta - this is a known issue that we are tracking. Should be fixed soon. Thanks for passing it along!

        Sean I also have the symbol style transparency issue noted above where it reverts back to the default setting of 0%  The symbol colors issue seems to be "unhearalded."  I think it will be a common issue though.  Our maps will display some portion (usually ~10-20) of the possible hospital systems when selecting a state...there more than 500 different "systems in the US...so there clearly won't be an "assigned" color for each system.  And I'm guessing there are many other examples where symbol color needs to be dyamic to the filtered selection.  Hope they fix it soon!  Tom

      The big issue that is stopping us from adopting these maps is that the tooltips do not go past the edge of the visual. This functionality works fine with the standard maps. Is this as issue that is being worked on scottball? We also have an issue with someone being able to export our Lat and Long data that is our IP. Whilst there is the blunt tool to be able to prevent this on the service there is no way to be able ot stop this in PBI Embeded. Is there any way that you are able to provide control over the Exporrt Data function for this visual?

       

      Thank you.

        dcresp - ArcGIS Maps for Power BI is a special custom visual, but alas - we are still a custom visual. Only native visuals allow tooltips outside of their sandboxed windows. We are working to make the tooltips smarter so they don't extend into unviewable areas, which should help the issue somewhat.

         

        Regarding the export option - that's something we'll have to look into. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
