Hi Matters34,

 

We use the On-Prem PBIRS as well, and we do mapping. We are based in the UK, so different maps, but in general we have found the mapping is working ok. We do have some render problems on occasion, which we have never got to the bottom of, but usually f5 sorts the issue.

 

We are using the latest version released Nov 1 2017, without any of the later bug fixes.

 

I understand from other post on the community that the MS PBI team are planning on releasing an updated version of the PBIRS later this month. But there is no published roadmap or indication of what will be in this release. I have asked for both with no reply from MS.

 

There have been some improvements to the mapping in the Cloud version, hopefully they will appear in the March 2018 RS release, fingers crossed.

 

Regards

Rob

      We are using long and latitude values to identify specific locations. We are not mapping areas.
