Filled map zooming in on 'User current location' rather than the data context

[Anonymous]

I've got a Filled Map visual that has been in use for a while now.  In the desktop, it shows all of Australia and fills in the states based on a metric.  Recently on the service, when I first load the report, this map zooms right in on the city I live in.  I can zoom this out manually and see the usual data, however this is about presentation.

Is this happening to anyone else?  I feel like these map visuals should be more about the data and less about the Geo location of the logged in User.

@Anonymous,

In Power BI filled map, Bing Maps provides filled map shapes for locations around the world. So when you open this map in power BI service, it will zoom right in your city. This is the default hehavior.

Hi @v-caliao-msft  You have misinterpretted the bug.  The maps were zooming in on my geographic location irrespective of what filled in data had appeared on the map.  My example was that we would have the shapes fill in for the states of Australia based on a metric.  I live in Brisbane Australia and when i was opening the map, it would zoom into almost street level of where i reside in Brisbane.

Whatever the problem was, it no longer occurs.  The bug must have been found and solved.
