Maps: Change the Category Label to another data point

I am a relative noob to PowerBI ...  I am tracking vessel locations on a map using long and lat -  Looking to see if there is a way to change the category label on the map to display the name of vessel rather than the long and lat.  Certainly can display it using the tool tip, however, I would like to see it displayed in the box label.  Thank you!
