Set Map Center But Still Allow Auto-Zoom?

Hi - I have an Azure map on world view, showing global bubble data from many of our offices.  Upon first opening the published reports, I would like the map to be centered on a specific location (e.g. our home office in North America).  But as people apply different slicers (e.g. country, client, city, province, etc.), I would like the map to auto-zoom.  I initially turned-off auto-zoom and set the longitude and latitude for the desired initial position, but then the map would not reposition once different filters were applied.    If I leave the map in auto-zoom, it seems to center on London / the prime meredian.  Any suggestions?

Hi @ddasilva ,

Please have a try.

You can use the Map settings option in the Format pane of the Azure map visual to adjust the Center latitude and Center longitude values to your desired location.
You can use the Auto zoom option in the Format pane of the Azure map visual to enable or disable the automatic zooming and centering of the map based on the data and filters applied. If you enable this option, the map will zoom and center to fit the data points on the map whenever you apply a slicer or change the data. If you disable this option, the map will stay at the position and zoom level that you set in the Map settings option.
