ESRI maps are blank...again.
I was having the same issue using ESRI/arcgis (althought BING vis was working fine) with multiple powerbi files in the desktop client, it just started about the same time you posted this - following an update, which I'm not sure if it was related or not. I tried everything from messing with my address formats/data types, switching between X/Y coords etc. Finally I got them working again by adding PowerBI to my firewall exceptions. Note that PowerBi analysis services were already in my exceptions list, but that I had to manually add powerbi desktop itself.

This issue was ultimately fixed by making sure that both ESRI and PowerBI were white-listed.
Thanks all.
Hi there
How did you add ESRI to the whitelist? I can see the ability to white list Power BI Desktop in Control Panel > Windows Defender Firewall > Allowed applications list. I can't see the option to allow ESRI though.
Cheers
Sorry for not replying sooner.
I believe that we had to go through our enterprise-level firewall controls and add the domains for both ESRI and PowerBI to the white-list so that the maps would function properly.
