If you only have longitude and latitude, you cannot make the filled map show the location.

Filled map uses shading or tinting or patterns to display how a value differs in proportion across a geography or region. To make it show the locations properly, you also need to fill the Location field when creating your visualizations.

Otherwise, the data is aggregated by default, so for example, the latitude and longitude would be paired at the state level, not the city level. Latitude and Longitude fields must be in Decimal Number format, which you can set in the data model.

 

Following is an example for reference.
