Hints & tips
- If you are not connected to the internet when Power BI Desktop opens, the maps will not render
- Use Longitude and Latitude wherever possible as it provides much more accurate data
- If you must use a location field, aggregate one that includes “Street, City, State, Country” to try and get better results
