Map point sizes almost all the same

Thanks for your detailed description. I’ve also reproduced this issue locally and reported it internally. I’ll update here if there is some feedback.

Hi
Thank you both for getting back. I am using the latest version of desktop, and I'm using country names for the map locations, and a normal decimal measure for the sizes. I've done a bit more work and discovered that the more points I have on the map, the less accurate the sizes are. So in the picture below I'm showing the same points for countries in Africa. On the left is the data filtered to just show Africa data, and on the right is the data for the whole world, but zoomed in to show the same region. As you can see, there is a huge difference in what the map shows in each case. I've noticed the same thing if I filter down on other dimensions.
I'm not sure that this is exactly what I was seeing on Friday, as it seemed like the whole map was showing points the same size, but it does throw up a limitation of the map visualization which is that points seem to have a minimum size. This means that when you have one point that is quite a bit larger than the others, in this case around 70k is the largest, then the rest just end up looking the same, even when one is 2k and another is 0.2.

Fully agree. I share the exact same frustration.
I have values ranging between 1-100, but the relative size is very very small. Size of bubbles don't visualize at all as I want them. Such a dissappointment! What is the workaround?
