Issue with Mapping
Hi User,
If the map visual was working previously and you're now seeing a permission-related message, the issue is likely related to your environment or tenant settings rather than the dataset itself.
A few things you can check:
Verify which map visual you're using (Azure Maps, Map, Filled Map, or Shape Map), as each has different requirements.
Ensure that map and geocoding services are enabled by your Power BI/Fabric administrator in the tenant settings.
Confirm that your organization or network isn't blocking access to the map services.
If you're following a Microsoft Learn exercise, make sure you're using the latest sample data and instructions, as some labs may have been updated.
Try creating a new report with the same sample data to determine whether the issue is specific to the report or affects all map visuals.

Could you also clarify:
Which map visual are you using (Azure Maps, Map, Filled Map, or Shape Map)?
What is the exact error message shown?
Are you using a personal account, a work/school account, or the Microsoft Learn sandbox environment?
This will help determine whether it's a permissions issue, a tenant configuration, or a limitation of the learning environment.
