    Hi parry2k, this particular report will be 'Publish to web' so (unless ESRI has recently changed this) the ArcGIS maps are not an option. I'm aware of the Ideas route but am somewhat skeptical it will float to the top given the Map visual has existed for years.

    Just checked, this was requested earlier this year and has gathered a whopping total of 3 votes (including mine) now:

    I was mostly curious if there were technicalities that meant Highlight had not been included as a functionality for the Map visual.
