Visual Map and Fill map Disable
Hi Alba2025 ,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft fabric community.
Check Tenant Settings (Admin Only)Navigate to the Power BI Admin Portal and select Tenant settings.
Verify that “Use Map and Filled Map visuals” is enabled for your account.
Enable Map Services
In Power BI Desktop:
Go to File - Options and settings - Options
Under Global - Security, ensure the following are checked:
Use Map and Filled Map visuals
Allow visuals to use Bing Maps
Internet Access
Confirm your system or network is not blocking:
*.bing.com
*.virtualearth.net
Clear Cache (Optional)
Go to File → Options → Data Load → Clear cache
When you are signed out, Power BI treats your session as anonymous, so org-wide restrictions and user-based privacy controls are not applied, allowing the map to load without issues.
Thanks.
Hi Alba2025 ,
The Visual Map or Fill Map options are disabled or not visible, but when you sign out, you can see them. This usually points to a permissions or licensing issue with your account. A few things to check and try:
-
Account Permissions: Sometimes, certain features (like Visual Map or Fill Map) are only available to users with specific roles or licenses.
-
License Level: If your organization uses different license tiers, features like Visual Map may be limited to higher-tier licenses. When you’re signed out, you might be seeing a public or demo version that shows everything, but your signed-in account might have restrictions.
-
Browser Cache/Cookies: Try clearing your browser cache and cookies, or try accessing the map in a different browser or incognito/private mode to see if the problem persists.
