    Hi All,

    As known, Power BI Map visual uses Bing map. There's something changed in the PBI and Bing map integration. See Bing maps improvements.

     

    Here's some suggestion 

    1. Set DataCategory for the geo column in the Modeling phase
    2. Use a location hierarchy that includes Country to scope the geocoding query, and drill using “hierarchy” drill icon (pitchfork)

    So please download the latest Power BI desktop and follow above two suggestions to tweak map visuals in your report, then re-publish.

At the moment I post, I can't reproduce that issue as your descripbed? Could you just re-try? If the issue persists, what happens when you re-publish the pbix file?

Just tried to re-post my report again which contains the basic map visual and received the same issue. Displays fine in Power BI Desktop, but renders a blank map when published to the Power BI Service. I am using this version of the Desktop software (2.46.4732.581 64-bit (May, 2017)). Note: the other visuals in the report display the data correctly. Its just the map visual. We need this corrected ASAP. Thanks.
