Hi JonWri - Unfortunately, as of now, tooltips for reference layers (like polygons from GeoJSON files) in Azure Maps do not display in Power BI Service, even though they work in Power BI Desktop. the bubble layer workaround is the most feasible way to retain tooltip functionality for polygons in Power BI Service.

If you must have tooltips, you can include a bubble layer on top of your polygons:
Use minimal styling for the bubble layer to make it less noticeable (e.g., smallest size and transparent colors).
Ensure the tooltip information is tied to the bubble layer, so it displays when hovering over it.
While this is not ideal aesthetically, it retains the functionality of tooltips.
