    Hi Ansicone,

     

    In a map visual, there is a option called Category Labels. When we turn on this option, Location values, or Latitude and Longitude values will display as labels in the map. See:

     

     

    But if we want to see the whole values which used in this map, we need to hover the cursor on the data point. You can image if all values(Location, Legend, Latitude, Longitude, Size... etc) display as labels in the map, it will consume a lot of space. Then it will be hard to see data points. So only enable category labels make sense.

     

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

I can't find a way to do it. This community idea to make it happen is marked completed, but I don't see it, and neither do any of the commenters since it was "finished" a few months ago. I'm not sure what they had in mind.

 

There's a suggestion in this post on how to do it, but that only works if you want to display a column (not a measure), and it would have to have a one-to-one relationship to the locations used for your map. It also requires you have lat-long coordinates for all of your locations.

 

There are a few other ideas out there, some of them more relevant than others. You might find one worth adding a comment to, or start your own. If you do that, I'd reference the completed one in your post and mention that it did not meet the intent of the idea.
