    This is almost certainly a combination of security/tenant settings plus the October 2025 shift from Bing Maps to Azure Maps, not just a local bug.​​

    Things you can try locally

    • In Desktop, go to File > Options and settings > Options > Global > Security and tick Map and filled map visuals and Use Azure Maps visual, then fully close and reopen Desktop.​

    • Make sure you are signed in with your organizational account and that “Use sign-in experience” is enabled under Security as some builds require this for map visuals.​

    • Check that your firewall/proxy allows calls to the Power BI map endpoints listed in Microsoft’s map tips and tricks article.​

    What your admin may need to do

    If the checkbox stays disabled or maps remain unavailable after restart, your tenant admin must enable them in the Power BI Service Admin Portal: Settings > Admin portal > Tenant settings > Integration settings > Map and filled map visuals / Use Azure Maps visual.​

    If, after those steps, the option still cannot be toggled in October 2025 Desktop, it aligns with reports that this is a known issue around the Bing→Azure Maps changeover; the temporary workaround is to use Azure Maps visual (if available) or Shape Map until a later Desktop build fixes the dialog behavior.​​

Hi iruobe19,

 

Yes this is expected behaviour. Power bi desktop now requires a work or school account to enable these map visuals. Personal outlook or gmail accounts cannot enable these features even in the desktop. There is no workaround to sign in with a personal email and these visuals cannot be enabled without an organizational tenant. The only supported way is to use a work or school account with the tenant setting enabled.

 

Thanks and regards,
