Hi Julio7 
The Lasso selection tool is not currently supported in the Azure Maps visual in Power BI, even though Copilot or some documentation may suggest otherwise. At this time, you can only use Ctrl+Click to select multiple individual points on Azure Maps, but freeform or lasso selection is not available. This has been a common request among users, and Microsoft may add this functionality in the future, but for now, it is not built into the Azure Maps visual.

 

Workaround:
If you need lasso selection, consider using the ArcGIS Maps visual in Power BI, which does support lasso and rectangle selection tools. Alternatively, you can submit a feature request to Microsoft through the Power BI Ideas forum, and monitor updates on the Azure Maps documentation page for future enhancements.
