Azure Map visual keeps zooming out (even when Autozoom is off)

[Cairocalling]

I can zoom in on an Azure map using the buttons on the map to look at one of my data points. However when I stop the map autozooms out to view all of the points on the map. This must be a bug an not a feature. It is most unhelpful. Autozoom is definitely switched off. On the Map visual and on the ArcGIS map visual this does not happen. If you zoom in to see a particular street with these visuals the zoom level does not automatically reset.

Hey Cairocalling,

might be a little bit late, but i've just figured out a workaround for this issue as i was facing the same.

Once you've disabled the auto zoom functionality you'll be able to configure the map settings, especially the view settings (as per Get started with Azure Maps Power BI visual - Microsoft Azure Maps | Microsoft Learn).

You would need to configure the Zoom Factor, Latitude and Longitude properly.

This way the map is zooming to the specified position by default - this is not exactly how the other map visuals (ArcGis, Choroplete cards / arae cartogram) were working and does imply slightly more maintenance when setting up a different default location - but it does the job (at least for my use case).

Only caveeat - you need to figure out the correct Latitude / Longitude / Zoom factor by trial and error (Long / Lat is relatively simple - as we can google it, zoom factor for me was between 5 and 6 hence i had to type 5.X manually as the field seems to be an integer by default)

Hope this helps.

It seems the Auze map exists in pixel space, rather than power BI report space. If you view the report at 200%, the map will be half of its normal size in the window. 

Auto zoom will change how large the map appears, but the math is done in pixel space and does not honor zoom on the report.
