Ability to turn off tooltip and ability to remove the default tooltip (ie the columns used to create the visual).

As some people have already noted in the comments, we've actually shipped this feature already! It was included as part of our July update to Power BI Desktop. You can read all about it in our blog: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-july-2018-feature-summary/#tooltips And of course, if you have any other feature suggestions, please make sure to vote on them.

RE: Turn off tooltip and remove default tooltip

Ability to remove default values from tooltips would be really useful! I've voted for it here: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/37516831-remove-default-values-from-tooltips

RE: Turn off tooltip and remove default tooltip

For the ESRI maps, there is no Tooltip tab under the format pane. Like it should show Border followed by Visual header, without Tooltip as an option in between as would be the case with bar or line chart visuals.

How should I remove certain tooltip values in this case?

You can try setting the transparency to 100% which will act like hiding the default tooltip yet we can use Report Tooltip.

RE: Turn off tooltip and remove default tooltip

Adding custom expressions, including the integration of charts/sparklines into tooltips is a very commonly used case. This would be a substantial feature to have added to Power Bi reports as well as SSRS reports.
