Unable to display map visuals (map, choropleth map, shape map)

Solve the problem of displaying maps and filled maps in Power BI Desktop, even if these options appear to be enabled in the settings.

Problem context:- When trying to display a map based on the "Country" field, nothing appears.- A message indicates: "Map and filled map visuals are not enabled for your organization. Contact your administrator to resolve this issue."

    Jackson19 There is a tenant level setting for Power BI that controls whether or not you can use map visuals. It is in the Admin center under Tenant settings. It has to be enabled before you can use map visuals. If you are an administrator, go to Power BI, powerbi.com. Click the gear icon and then Admin portal:

    Ask your Power BI admin to enable Map and Filled Map visuals in the Power BI Admin Portal.
    Enable map visuals in Power BI Desktop: File > Options > Security > Use Map and Filled Map visuals.
    Turn on Windows Location Services and allow Power BI access.
    Whitelist Bing Maps URLs in your firewall/proxy.
    Set “Country” column’s Data Category to Country in Power BI
