Memory Error Shape Map

Hi, I am new to using Shape Maps in Power BI. I uploaded a JSON file to create custom shapes for 3 zips. However, the report is very slow to navigate through and I have gotten 2 errors: "We're sorry. This report ran out of memory, and the application must close." and "Cannot invoke on Cef webBrowser in its current state." Is there any way I can get this to work? The data behind the visual is very limited and there is nothing else in the report. Thanks.

Hi. Unfortunately these do not help. I already have the JSON file. I am wondering how I can make it not crash my Power BI and how to avoid the errors.
