Hi Anonymous ,

 

I think this issue may related to your networks statues, maybe you can try to use fiddler to trace power bi requirement to see which request has been blocked.

 

In addition, you can also try to clean up power bi desktop cache files or share your pbix to another device to test.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I've sent a faulty report to 2 of my colleagues with older versions of PBI desktop and everything is perfect. 

     

    I've also downloaded Fiddler but I'm not sure how I can use it to help.

     

    Can you tell me what I am supposed to see here?

     

    I tried creating a new maps visual and filled it with Long/Latt data expecting to see a Bing.Maps URL in Fiddler but no joy.

     

    I've also tried re-downloading and re-installing the PBI desktop with no success.

     

    Thank you for your help so far. 

     

    Regards,

     

    Luke

    I can confirm that this is definitely an issue with the February 2019 update that I downloaded and installed from Power BI here - https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/ and on the MS Store

     

    I downloaded and installed the older December 2018 version and the map visuals render as expected in both PBI Desktop and Service.

     

     

     

    If anyone else is having similar issues, refer to This Power BI Community answer to get older versions of PBI Desktop.
