Map card in azure map

[RubenMerino]

Hi

I've been trying to use the azure map, but something doesn't quite work.

Using a dataset via API from a government open data portal. I can "draw" the territorial division by copying the geojson into the "Reference layer".

But when I add the "nom" column in the "location" section, when I hover over the map, the name of each territorial division does not appear.

On the other hand, if I use another data set from the same website, but using the latitude and longitude columns, it works if I put the name of the city in the "tooltips" section. I don't really know why it doesn't work on the first map.

Hi @RubenMerino ,
Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community,

Hope your query has been resolved by now - if not, please consider the following insights:

Based on your setup and screenshots, the main issue arises from how Azure Maps handles GeoJSON reference layers. While these layers successfully display the territorial boundaries, hover tooltips do not automatically appear because reference layers do not natively support interactivity like tooltips unless there’s a precise data join.

In the second case (dot map with lat/long), the map visual directly consumes the dataset and plots each point interactively, allowing tooltips (like "nom") to be displayed on hover.

When using a GeoJSON reference layer:

The shapes are rendered correctly, but :

Unless the "nom" column is matched exactly and used as a Location field (with  context like region/country), the map cannot resolve it interactively.

Additionally, Azure Maps does not expose attribute-level tooltips from reference layers by default.

Workarounds:
Use Latitude/Longitude with a Bubble Layer:

-Plot your dataset using Latitude and Longitude.

-Add "nom" to the Tooltip field.

-This allows hover text as expected, and you can still overlay the GeoJSON as a visual aid.

Ensure Matching Location Fields:

-If you wish to use "nom" for matching, try appending contextual identifiers (like postal code, province, or "Catalunya, Spain") so Azure Maps can resolve the location.

-Alternatively, use a common ID column between your dataset and the GeoJSON to link them meaningfully.

Let us know if you're still working on this - happy to help further.

Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.

@RubenMerino , I think now working for names appended with numbers. If you can append Zip or State, country name in the Nom name, it might work

Well in theory it's de same data, I mean, I used the same dataset (csv and geojson version) for lotacion and the shape. But, even use a ID column continus with the problem
