Globe map custom visualization does not work
Hello,
I would like to use custom visualization Globe map, but every time when I try to display my data, the map does not work. There is no data display on the map.
I use the latest version of power BI. The Location field is populated with Postal code data/ categorized properly " postal code/ I have bar height field using numerical values.
And for instance, the map which is native for power BI has displayed all of my values but Globe Map does not work.
Would you please help me with advice?
Attached are visualizations which have been used and the dataset which is represented in those visualizations/ except the globe map which is empty /Globe map which does not work
Standard map
Data displayed
There is now a July version of Power BI Desktop, could you possibly uninstall your current version.Then restart your PC and then install the July Version of Power BI Desktop?

The visualization doesn't work for me: it's put the Lat and Long in any field except for the corresponding fields. I set correct "data type", but my Longitude and Latitude Globe map can place in "Bar Height", "Heat intencity" - everywhere, but not in the coordinates fields...
I'm having the exact same problem, I am using GDP data from the World Bank, a few days ago it worked then suddenly the data wouldn't show up at all. I have a measure in the bar height and country is under location but it show zip zilch nada.
Something weird with Globe Map coordinates.
I'm using the latest (April 2018) PowerBI release. I have about 25 datapoints across the globe georeferenced by coordinates (no variable in Globe Map "Location" field). 24 of those points plot at correct places. A point with coordinates of Lat=60.0 Long=0.0 (which should plot east of Shetlands, UK) plots in the middle of Indian Ocean (as if it has Lat = 0.0 Long = 60.0). I triple checked my dataset (which is a DirectQuery of a Microsoft SQL database) and I'm confident it is correct. Changing the Longitude to -1.0 the point moves to where it belongs. Changing it back to 0.0 brings me back midway between Somalia and Maldives.
Actually, same problem when a datapoint has a latitude of 0.0
