    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.

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.
