Zoom in/out buttons for a Shape Map?

This seems so silly, but I can't see a way to turn on zoom in/out buttons (like a plus/minus) with a custom Shape Map. I understand that I can pinch or use my mouse scroll, but I want a plus/minus UI for users who may not immediately realize they CAN zoom when looking at this data when published. Is there a way to add those?

Hey thanks! That does link to a way to toggle zoom buttons for Bing maps, but I am using a Shape Map instead and don't see that toggle in the shape map's visualization's settings.

Hi @Anonymous 

It seems the zoom buttons are not available in custom Shape Map now, while it is already available in Bing Map and Filled Map. You may raise an idea about this requirement at Ideas (powerbi.com) 

 

You could add some text next to the map to remind users how to zoom in and zoom out. I admit this is not as intuitive and elegant as zoom buttons.
