Scroll wheel on your mouse.

Sorry not on Power BI report. I know that we can zoom in /Out from there. But when pin that report to dashboard, could not zoom in/Out. Somehow the dashboard is static not dynamic.

BaharVafi There is no interaction on the dashboard with the tiles. The whole purpose of the tile is to show things at a glance, if you want the interactive map, you have to click on the tile so that you are taken to the map.
To put it another way, the tile is just a snapshot of what you want a user to see. For instance, you could take your map, change it to a column chart - pin that column chart to the dashboard and the user would see the column chart. But if you change the column chart to a map, now the user will click the column chart and be taken to the map...
Tile does not equate to the report page visuals, that includes interactivity.

Ctrl + "+"
should do the trick.
Otherwise, get a magnifying glass or ask your IT to provide you a mouse wheel. It is 2015 (nearly 2016) ... ;-)

How would you zoom out on a computer without a scroll wheel

Touchpads on modern laptops allow multi-touch. Try selecting the map custom vizual you've created in PowerBI and put two fingers next to each other on the touchpad small distance apart. Slide your fingers up (towards the screen) to zoom out or move them down (back towards you) to zoom in.

They still haven't fixed this. It's 2025.
