Issue with Azure Maps vs the bing map
I've recently migrated from the Bing Maps visual to Azure Maps in my Power BI dashboard.
Previously, I was able to use the Ctrl key to multi-select different regions and other slicers/visualization directly on the Bing Map visual, and this interaction worked seamlessly with other slicers and visuals to keep it filtered on the basis of the Ctrl key selections.
However, after switching to Azure Maps, the Ctrl + click multi-select functionality no longer works as expected. I'm unable to select multiple slicers on the dasboard along with the maps, and this is affecting the interactivity between slicers and other visuals in my report.
Is this a known limitation with Azure Maps in Power BI? Or is there a workaround or setting I might be missing to enable multi-select behavior similar to Bing Maps?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Azure Maps in Power BI doesn’t support Ctrl + multi-select like Bing Maps — it’s a current limitation. Workaround: use slicers/filters or stick with Bing Maps until Microsoft adds this feature.
But i'm getting this message, whenever i open PBI, that Bing maps are soon going to go away. So what should we do now? (-_-")
Bing Maps is being retired in Nov, so you must switch to Azure Maps. Migrate your visuals, test interactivity, and use slicers/filters as a workaround for missing multi-select.
