Locations in Azure Map Correct in Power BI Desktop But Not Correct in Power BI Service
Hi there,
I use Azure Map in Power BI Desktop and it looks fine. I use "country": "AU" and postcode for each location.
However, after publishing it to Power BI Service, the dashboards in both Workspace and the app become:
Some of the AU locations fall into other countries.
Is this an issue in Power BI Service?

Hi KylieF Could you check for these please
- Ensure "Country" and "Postcode" are formatted as text.
- Combine "Country" and "Postcode" into one field ("AU 2000").
- Assign the combined field a Geography > Address category.
- Verify map visuals are enabled in Power BI Service settings.
- Clear browser cache and refresh the report in the Service.
If this post helped please do give akudos and accept this as a solution
Thanks In Advance

Hi v-sgandrathi ,
Thank you for your reply. But the issue isn't solved yet. Please see the result below:
I have followed your instructions:
"Provide more detailed location information, including City, State, and Country along with the Postcode." -- I addiontionally provide "address" column which is not very clean data and the dots on the map visual don't seem to have changed.
"Ensure the Azure Maps Visual feature is enabled in Power BI Service Settings (Admin Portal > Tenant settings)." -- This has been enabled.
"Verify that the regional settings for your dataset in Power BI Service are set to Australia (Settings > Datasets > Regional Settings)." -- Not all the locations are in Australia. There are a couple outside Australia. I think it doesn't make sense to set this one up.

This issue has not been solved. The Azure maps on our Power BI report is not showing accurately.

Hi asalgadoPT500, KylieF,
Thank you for the update. Since the Azure Maps visual displays correctly in Power BI Desktop but shows incorrect locations in Power BI Service, and this is affecting multiple users in different regions, it appears to be a geocoding issue on the Power BI Service side, not a problem with the report or data setup. All standard troubleshooting steps have been checked, and there is no workaround at the report level. The suggested next step is to submit a Microsoft Support ticket so the Power BI team can look into the Azure Maps behavior in the Service. Please share any updates from Microsoft Support here, as this information could assist others experiencing the same issue.
Thank you.
EDIT: issue caused by "data category"
was "address" must be "uncategorized" ....
Location as provided on screen - Rudzica 755, Jasienica, Poland - marked as "addres"I have issue with locations:
