Problem with Map visualisation on Power BI Desktop since August update

I have found a problem since the August 2016 PBI Desktop update in that Map visualisations in existing PBIX files don't always render the map anymore.

 

In case it helps someone, here's how I fixed the issue:
> Delete all map visualisations from all pages of the report
> Save and exit
> Reopen the PBIX file

> Readd your Map visualisations

 

Cheers

    I have the same issue with custom maps (TopoJSON) that were working prior to the August update. When I opened the pbix files created prior the August update they work just fine, but I am not able to add new custom maps.

    Below is the error I am getting when I try to use a custom map:

      The map visual in a July release's pbix can be renderred well in Aug's in my test, can you share the problematic pbix?

      The shape map works in my test as well, could you share the TOPOJSON in your case?
