Filled Map has stopped working today
Anonymous
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
- Set DataCategory for the geo column in the Modeling phase
- 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.
I have the same experience with the standard map. Showing only 2 dozen dots/bubbles out of >500. Only on PowerBI.com, desktop functions as expected.

Thanks all for your reporting. Anyhow I'm not reproducing this issue on my side. For further diagnose, could any one of you help capture the network traffic by fiddler when loading your report and upload the trace file.
Try to map a location by City, State. Until last week I was able to map the Location field in the visual by using a combination of City, State (Denver, CO). This worked when i originally published the report back in the Fall of 2016 and continued to successfully render until a change must have occurred on the Power BI Service over the last 10 days.

for me I have similar issue in a different report
Opened the unchanged report in current June Desktop release and I get only one datapoint calls are to

when I change my location field (its contents is "postal code city, country") to Uncategorized it works again but goes to a different REST endpoint:

these are the documentations of the two different endpoints

seems the general query endpoint works but other endpoints are affected by the bug???
