labels on maps

while there are quite a few listing here; either I don't see or have missed a solution that shows how to display a number on the map rather than a bubble.  I want to do this (screenshot)

 

can PowerBI Desktop do that?  If so, how? 

my data set is simple: Lat, Long, Price, Location Address

  • Hi ToddRod72,

     

    You can add the value field into "Tooltips", when you hover over the location on the map, it will show corresponding values. But this way cannot show all values at a time.

     

    Another workaround is to use Lat-Lon to plot the geographic location and you can use an arbitrary field, with whatever information you want in it) as the value in the Location section of the visualization. Reference: Data Labels on Maps

     

    If you are familiar with R code, you can draw a R visual
