Hi @anglefbi11 ,

I tried and could not reproduce your problem, my visual objects work fine like they did before you had the problem:

I suggest you check the problem in the following ways:

1. check that the area settings are the same between the two computers.

2. make sure that both your work pc and your personal pc are running the same version of Power BI Desktop.

3. make sure your administrator has granted you permission to use map visual objects in admin portal.

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.

hi guys

i just checked both setting and both of them are the same. ( regional setting...etc ) 

but i didnt check permission to use map visual objects in admin portal. ( because i dont know where i can access it)

Also check if some ports might be blocked in your work environment.

Additionally I would see if the "data category" of the country column is set correctly (even though this should not have such a severe impact)

Try changing the visual to a table on your home pc and work pc and see if there are any differences
