Hi Odilon,

 

I guess you have turned off the visible property on desktop, please turn on 'selection' option to control visual visible properties.

    No, unfortunately that is not the issue.

     

    If I configure "View" > Selection Pane: check > Hide all

    indeed the visualization is blank, but

    if I configure "View" > Selection Pane: check > show all

    I see all visualization items (tables, legends, titles etc.) but not the maps

     

    It seems this is a common issue: the question comes up frequently in the Desktop forum.

    Solutions proposed are to make sure the firewall doesn't cut off Bing.maps (I checked), to use the latest version of Power BI (I updated to 2.57) and make sure the chart is designed properly (it is: it shows fine in Power BI but not in Power BI Desktop).

     

    Thoughts?

      HI Odilon,

       

      I can't reproduce your issue, maybe you can consider to post at bing map forum to confirm bing map service ip range and ports, then modify firewall rule.

       

      Endpoint of bing map service:

      Geospatial Endpoint Service
