How can I create a map visualization without accessing Bing Maps ?

My web browser can't not access Bing.com or Bing Maps and Maps Visualization in Power BI Desktop doesn't work.

Please help me another way to create map visualization without access Bing.Com

I think my organization (administation) hasn't allowed to connect Bing.

Your help is very useful.

Thank you

Hi @TrucNguyen90,Power bi map visual is based on bing map engine so you need to keep the connection to the bing map service.
For your scenario, I'd like to suggest you try or use other types of map visual(e.g. ArcGIS map) if your network has blocked the request to Bing services.

@TrucNguyen90 ArcGIS is 3rd party visual and some of its features are paid, but it has a lot of features and sometimes I find it overkill but maybe it is the right fit for you, but do pay attention not all the features are free

Thank you for your help. I'll try a different visual. By the way, could you tell me what differences between Bing Maps vs ArcGIS map ?

Because I'd used Bing Maps Visual and I've never used ArcGIS before.

@TrucNguyen90 you need access to bing (I think) for it to work, not sure if there is a solution around it or use a different visual.
