susiechen,

Do you drag any field to Location of Map visual? In your scenario, you can create a custom column concatenating place and country, set proper  Data Category for this new field, then drag it to Location of the map visual with  Latitude and Longitude fields.

For more tips, please review the following article and video.

Yes, I tried to drag field to Location of Map visual and it dosen't work.

The points I want to show on map is in Macau SAR, Asia. Maybe the geocoding is not working here.

The main problem is I don't know how to change the xy in WGS84 to bing map transformation and coordinate system xy.

Thanks for your advice anyway.
