Hi @Anonymous 
You need to enable maps from 2 places :
1. From power BI desktop

2 From service >> admin portal:

Hi @Anonymous 
Maps are available with a pro license.

Are you sure that you have admin permissions for using the admin portal?

Hi @Anonymous 
It seems that it is a licence problem, i didn't find references to maps, but free users generally have very limited options, so I think that this is the issue in your case.

According to the linked document, most of the features are unavailable/limited
