Bing map not plotting points correctly on Firefox?
- 7 years ago
It appears this is a rate limit issue with either the Virtualearth.net API or Bing Maps itself. There is information on both sites relating to imposed limits, but it's hard to tell which ones would apply to a Power BI report viewed over the web where the integration with Bing Maps is completely out of our hands - this should perhaps be something users are made more aware of?
I solved the problem by using an external tool to get the latitude/longitude for each postcode in my dataset and use those rather than postcodes.
Map plots properly accross all browers, every time, using lat/lng.
Updated both Chrome and Firefox, cleared cache in both and now I see this - no points plotted at all. I've also tried this on a second computer with the same results.

Hi Frank - version 2.62.5222.761 64-bit (september 2018). Points all plot properly in that.

Some progress - I tried publishing the file again and now Chrome and Safari seem fine, however Firefox (on three separate computers now, one Windows and two OSX - two of which have never logged in to powerbi.com before and had Firefox installed on them this morning specifically to test this) still shows a blank map.
