    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

Hi, I am trying to display the size value in the map. I dont need the lat-long category display (not sure any one does).

 

Neither PowerBI map or any of the map plugins have this option.

 

Also inserting the size parameters into the location field would conflict with the lat-long display as well. Has there been any update since this discussion in 2016? Please advise.
