Hi Seadon 

 

The issue you’re facing is due to a change in the new Azure Map visual (Sept 2025 update).

  • In the old Map visual, you could use the same field (e.g., Country) in both Location and Legend without problems.

  • In the new Azure Map, this setup is not supported and results in the “invalid query / error fetching data” message.

  • This is not a bug on your side, but a limitation/behavior change in the updated visual.

  • To Fix: Keep Country only in Location and use a different field (like Category, Region, or Group) in Legend.

  • If you only need color by Country, you don’t need Legend at all.

  • If you want the same old behavior, you can still use the basic Map visual until it is fully retired.
