Mapbox Visual zoom behaviour

[B_Real]

So there's a Mapbox Visual, yay! It's currently in preview mode only, so I would expect some niggles. Here's one!

There is constant absurd zooming behaviour every time you make a change to the visual, e.g. adding/removing a field to/from the 'Color' setting, turning the 'Circle' (or heatmap, cluster, chloropleth) buttons on/off, the list is endless! Each change zooms the visual out to nearly minimum zoom, which is basically most of Africa, all of Europe, and a bit of Russia and Saudi Arabia. Annoying!

Also there doesn't seem to be a way to set the default view settings for when the map is first loaded, e.g. in Leaflets in R you can do: 

setView(-2, 53.623, zoom = 6)

This sets the lon, lat and zoom level of the map when first loaded.

Anyone else having these problems?

Hi @B_Real,

Since it's a custom visual from the third party, I would suggest you go to https://www.mapbox.com/help/power-bi/ for professional support.

Cheers @v-jiascu-msft, will go there for future.

For anyone coming across this problem here, I found out why this behaviour was happening. It's a data problem. I had a handfull of longitude & latitude coordinates that were 0,0. It looks like mapbox automatically sets the default zoom level to include all of your data, which in my case was North East of England to somewhere just south of Ghana.

This makes sense but is still kind of annoying when you're zoomed in to a specific area and want to say add heatmap to see the effect on that area... as you will automatically get zoomed out back to your default zoom level.  

If this keeps annoying me enough I'll go and post it to mapbox on Dales link.
