How to display column data in Power Bi Desk top map as category label instead of the lat and long

Hi I have a data set and displayed data on the map using lat and long, however I would like to display the name of the data on the bubble on the map instead of the lat and long. When I put the name on the location field it give me error ofcourse.

 

Also can we scale the map to print on a bigger scale with layers or with categroy lable?

 

data is too much to be displayed clear without zoom in.

 

Thanks

You can move your location name column to Legend Field and you can distinguish the location name with its color and tooltip:

Hope this helps.
