Hi PowerBIzNess,

 

I just tested that the Map visual still works fine for me on running on win10 with the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.52.4921.682 64-bit (November 2017)).

 

 

Does this issue also happen to other visuals(i.e. Filled Map, ArcGis Map)? Have you tried opening the same pbix file on another computer to see if it works? :smileyhappy:

 

Regards

    v-ljerr-msft I have the latest version (Version: 2.53.4954.481 64-bit (December 2017))

     

    Yes, tried opening the file on my laptop with the same version and get the same error. Interestingly the error seems to come and go intermittently with no discernable reason... could there be network/admin policies blocking the Bing Maps API?

     

    Thanks!
