    you will able to see the map visual. other people are also facing the same issue when their admin has disable this map visualization feature.

     

    This can be resolved by your Tenant admin.

     

    I hope I answered your question!

    Being a newbie I found some of the replies accurate but less than clear. I have just managed to switch this on myself. Here are my comments. I hope they help.

     

    By default Map and Filled Map visuals are disabled in Power BI Desktop and Power BI.

     

    From Power BI Desktop > File > Options and Settings > Options > Global > Security > Map and Filled Map Visuals

    The above only works if you are not logged in to Power BI.

     

    From Power BI Desktop > Login to Power BI

    Power BI > Top Left Corner = 9 Stack (App launcher) > Admin > ... Show all > All admin centers > Power BI

    If you cannot see Admin in App launcher then you are not an Admin for your domain (tenant).

     

    This takes you to the Microsoft Fabric > Admin portal

    Admin portal > Tenant settings > Integration settings > Map and filled map visuals > Enable > Apply

    Enabled for the entire organization

    There are a whole host of flags you can toggle here. Integration settings is about halfway down the list.

    Here's the URL to the Power BI Admin portal:

    https://app.powerbi.com/admin-portal/tenantSettings?language=en-GB&experience=power-bi

    When I initally tried to do this it was for a new domain. So I had to confirm I was the admin for the domain by creating a DNS entry for Microsoft in my domain. But that's another story.
