It would be nice to be able to select what data you would like used to label your points on a map. For instance, I created a map to show hauler locations colored by the regional manager. ArcGIS does not allow labels and the default map selects my location (zip code) as the label. To be able to select a label from my data would really be helpful, so I could choose hauler name or count number or routes.

- Vitor_VernizNew Memberreally important feature!
- angela_pitcher2New Membermapping functionalities are really holding PBI back compared to spotfire and even tableau. get on it please!
- angela_pitcher2New Memberseriously - i am fairly new to PBI and i cannot believe this is not possible... really causing me some problems.
- jschlereth21New MemberYes, it would be great to select the field or measure to show on the map. I would argue that that was the original intent of this "completed" idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/8148939-data-labels-for-maps And this is similar to this posting: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/17033581-data-labels-for-maps
- mdriscoll353New MemberHow is it that Excel even has this ability and PBI does not? Promoting PBI inside my company is difficult when your other software solutions continue to undermine it.
- fbcideas_migusrNew MemberI'm shocked that this feature didn't come with the stock maps... the work-arounds are not optimal - please apply this update!!!
- Heidi_LockNew MemberWe still need this feature!!
- fbcideas_migusrNew MemberDefinitely need this! The workarounds are not great at all.

I would definitely be using labels on some maps if I could choose the measure that defines them. The location category is not the most useful for my users. I'd like to surface other details about the location as the primary label.
