Map Location limit?
Sure. Stop by and demo and that's fine as well. I believe I got a repro from another issue. Basically if you have a field in the legend and the number of rows are above a certain limit, we hit this issue.
Please use "Send a Frown" in Power BI Desktop and mention Mey and this forum thread on it so they can put you in touch with him. We will mark this public thread as Answered.

Im having the same issue. I have lat and lons when I used ~2000 of them in the Dublin, Ireland area PBI worked perfectly. But now I tried 17,000 and have definietly hit a problem, for some reason it has decided on the 53.35 latitude to be the maximum. so only half the coutry is displaying as having customers and is also really slow. (I have a really good computer). Should I be using a licenced
Arcgis software for this amount of datapoints? Can Tableau handle this? Is 17,000 points a lot?
Tnx
The map limit is there for a reason. If you're using interactive mapping (online) you can imagine that users won't want to spend a lot of time waiting for the data points to load. I would suggest grouping (aggregating) your data points into a higher geographical area and allow users to drill down.
This is really about the useability of the data from the users stand point. If you're loading that amount of data, a GIS product would hanlde it no problem, however could you share an interactive version with all your users ? Using an alternative Data Visualiation solution would pose the same issues...
Hope that helps...
