Zip Code Labels on Filled Maps

I map a lot of service area and territory data. When I use the Filled Map Visual, it doesn't auto-label the zip codes. 

As a former user of Microsoft MapPoint, it was very nice and useful to see some of the Zip Codes appear on the map iteself.

Right now, the zips and other relevant data appear when I hover my curser over a specific zip code, but if I wanted to generate a image of my screen just to show someone without having to send them the interactive map, they would have no way of knowing what zip is where.

It would be helpful is some of the larger zip codes actually appeared on the map itself. Otherwise, you have to click and search for any specific zip you need.

Does anyone know of a way to resolve this?

Thanks,

I know this has been asked before but did anyone solve this issue?

How to show Zip code label on a filled map visualization? I can show it on a basic map visualization by just turning on the category labels. But I have not found this feature on a filled map

You can try to turn on Category labels to show the zip code.

Thanks, but I don't have that option.

I see it for the regular map visual, but not the filled map visual.

 

Thanks Herbert. I did just that 🙂

 

Cheers,
