    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.

Filled maps stopped working again after the January 2018 update.

    Hi SteveD2

     

    It is working for me when I edited my report in the Power BI Service.

    Yep, the service appears to be working fine, the error I have is in the desktop version.

      It works for me in the January update.

      I would suggest making sure that where you are working from has got internet access.

      As well ensure that from the PC you are working on, can access Bing Maps

        Also check that your updating of the Power BI version hasn't changed your Data Formatting.  I've had that happen in the past.  This is where you nominate columns to be "Address" or "State" etc
