Update from the ticket we created with MS Support

 

Have some unfortunately bad news to share. Per Product Team, Azure Maps visual has been shifted from preview to production. Part of this change is the different authentication mode for Azure Maps.  What this entails is that embedding reports with this visual are no longer supported and can only be used under some limitations. They supplied the following link

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/power-bi-visual-get-started#considerations-and-limitations

 

 

We asked for a workaround, and they replied with this: 

There is no workaround for embedding the Azure Maps visuals at this time. You could use the regular map visual or the ArcGIS visual to get some of this functionality back. See the following pieces of documentation for more details:

If anyone finds a fast way to implement something that can replace the functionality, please report back.  Thanks.

    It's interesting that they suggested the ArcGIS visual when that is also blocked for embedded maps. This is incredibly frustrating; the ability to add geojson reference layers was very valuable for us.
