We need to be able to control what shows up in the Map Labels when you hover over a location in both maps and filled map. Ability to show / hide fields is a must - for example the end user may not care or even get confused by seeing the Latitude and Longitude of a location. We need to also be able to display another visualization in the map label like a table or matrix with the relevant data for the location the user is hovering over with the mouse. Please see http://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/national-results-map - perfect example - when you hover over a county you get a table with fields - we need something like this!

Please work on this, it was the first feedback I received about my map visualizations (hide lat long).

Users don't care to see latitude and longitude, only the correlating data points. We need to ability to suppress latitude and longitude when point is hovered over.

While it doesn't address the map label component of your request, you can provide additional information in your hover-over tooltips as follows:

Create a measure to return a data or string value:

= FIRSTNONBLANK([],TRUE)

(If in DirectQuery mode, you'll need to enable the PowerBI global option to "Allow unrestricted measures in DirectQuery mode")

Add the new measure to your tooltip.
