Geocoding Culture Map settings

I am creating a Map visual and I want to set Geocoding culture as 'en-GB'. Whenever I set the desired the geocoding, it gets changed to 'Auto' by itself when I navigate away from the page or zoom-in/zoom-out. I save the file immediately after setting the value, even then it automatically changes to 'Auto'. Refer to screenshots below.

Because of 'Auto' geocoding setting, some of my data points are not visible in the map.

 

Desired Setting:

Hi @milindgupta ,

 

Thanks for the reply from @rajendraongole1 , here is my solution:

 

When I do what you did, the same problem occurs:

The Open Auto zoom button can solve this problem:

Hi Zhu,

Thanks for your solution. It indeed do not changes when Auto Zoom is switched on. But I have to keep my map visual at certain zoom-in position (refer to screenshot below). If I turn on the Auto Zoom, it zooms out completely. Is there any solution to keep my zoom-in position intact.

 

Map visual I would like to keep:

Hi @milindgupta - Can you please try with latest version, i found this issue in older versions May 2024. Might be it was a bug in older releases as it got changed automatically to auto. Try with latest now i am using latest release Geocoding culture, is not changing to auto when we configured to some code.

 

Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center

I don't think version is the problem here, because I have the latest one installed.
