Map chart does not work in Desktop
mstefancik have you got data category properly defined for the fields you're using in map visual for example latitude and longitude for lat long fields. You can set them up by going through as shown in below image.
ankitpatira sure I did, even If i would not have set not set it properly, then why I can see the map visual correctly in PowerBI service?
mstefancik I'm assuming you are developing on a machine that has internet access? The maps require Bing, so if it doesn't you wouldn't see anything...(Outside guess) otherwise it looks like a bug...
Anonymous of course, from laptop joined into domain with an access to the internet.
mstefancik Figured, doesn't hurt to ask. The only other thing I would mention is to make sure you are on the latest Desktop version, and if you still see the consistent error, file a bug or create a thread on the issue forum...or both.
