I have to agree with CJ (maybe not in so many words) but this is really frustrating. I have added Country, Province, City to my dataset to make this map work, (my dataset only had lat & long at first) to fix this issue but at the end, I still get the message “More location data is required.” I also went the extra step (which I shouldn’t have to) and categorized all these fields accordingly. Still the same error message. Here is an example of how others do it so easily. Just plug in the following lat & long (or use your own) in the following website and you get it plotted. So why not PowerBI?

Lat: 49.372020

Long: -123.276460

So I am getting the gist of this.  I have 2 zip codes in the model, will have to pick just one and rename Zipcode.   But I have another dataset with long/lat, and another with a full address.  Are the expected field names documented anywhere so I don't have to use trial and error.

 

I agree we should not have to use desktop to do field type mappings, this should be in the web version.  The error message could have more info too.

    I can't also get this working:

     

    used : streetname housenumber, postalcode city, country

     

    works perfecty in bing.com, but gives me a more location data required needed.

    Just city works great
