Hi @Anonymous,

Based on my research, report tooltips are not supported for custom visuals, you could refer to below link:

Hi... Create a hierarchy using fields then add to category field (max 3 fields) and expand it by clicking on drill down in the map  ... Adding more fields has tooltip background colour not auto adjusted .. Thanks

Hi @Mani1205 

The version of Icon Map in App Source doesn't support tooltips with custom background colors.

There is a new beta version of Icon Map available to download at http://www.icon-map.com

This version supports normal Power BI tooltips, and report page tooltips.

There are also examples for drilldown on the site.

Hope this helps

I have another problem, i am using icons in icon map but it is displaying icons at only destination end ( lets say Source -->Destination) but i wanted it in both ends. Is there any soltion to this ?

 Here in the 1st pic SouthAmerica is source and Australia is destination and in 2nd pic Aus is source and Europe is destination. I wanted icons at both the ends.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous

I've only jsut come across your post, so sorry for the late reply. 

The Icon Map works on the basis you're drawing an icon on the map, then you can optionally draw a solid and/or a dotted line to another point on the map from the icon. If you need to draw an icon at both ends of the line, you'll need another row in your data specifying the Icon to show at this location. You can keep the line longs and lats as nulls for this 2nd Icon.

Hope that helps

Please could you share the sample data with the pbi file that can accomodate both the source and destination icons.
