    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

Thanks for reply. Having a label is one thing, but this should at least be an option when there is only small amout of data per large region -for example on the first example of yours this could be a callout with the value for each of 3 slices on the pie chart (for NY). If you hid the labels this would be ideal!

 

Shame this is not possible but thanks for claryfying.
