Azure Maps visual and on-prem report server
Hi,girishthimmaiah ,thanks for your concern about this issue.
Your answer is excellent!
And I would like to share some additional solutions below.
Hello,debblowers .I am glad to help you.Understand your concern, but from a design perspective, Report Server Desktop (RS version) should not make a change (Map & Filled Map change to Azure Map)
Because Azure Map requires networking and is currently a Preview feature.
Power BI Report Server, as a locally deployed report server, does not support some visual that needs to be connected to Azure and some visual in Preview state.
This is against the design philosophy of Power BI Report Server (local deployment, closed functionality and secure data).
So I think the message you are getting is that officials want to alert users to the Map changeover. (Azure Map is promoted and used for Power BI Service, not Power BI Report Server)
And as you can see from the official documentation, Power BI Report Server does not support the Preview feature.URL:
Compare Power BI Report Server and the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Looking at this from the opposite perspective, some users have suggested on the IDEA website that they want to use Azure Map in Reprot Server, and some have suggested their own alternatives.
URL:For future plans of new features, you can follow the Microsoft official tweets.

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

This is still a problem more than a year later
Thank you for the replies.
I did not realize there was a Report Server Desktop (RS version). When using that I do not get the pop-up message that I referenced earlier which makes sense. And the Azure map visual is not available, which also makes sense.
Thank you so much!
