I work in the Real Estate industry and receive requests to plot data points on map showing sales in which our company has participated. Everything went fine until I tried viewing all the data points and ended up with "Showing a Representative Sample". I would like the ability to show a minimum of 2500 data points

RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
I need for a new insight seriously more datapoints. Please inform the status of this idea
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
I've used Tableau to plot hundreds of thousands of points on maps and it's worked fine. Took me quite some time to work out why PowerBI wasn't looking right, turns out it's because it can only handle a small percentage of the data.
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
Agree. The data point limit is a problem for the Oil and Gas as well. There are hundreds of thousands of wells drilled in North America. Plotting their locations is essential if Power BI is to make inroads in the industry.
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
Agreed. I work at a utilities company with tens of thousands of assets and often when I try to plot the data points on the map I run into the limit. Also the plotting should be optimised, because often it is very slow when I'm not using gps lat/long but postal codes or city names (in Europe, the maps visual seems optimised for USA locations or something, the world is bigger than that people ;-) Maybe its possible for the PBI service to cache or pre render the maps so that it performs better. I also would like a sattelite view.

In my case it also would be ok if 1.000 points would be sampled and if you zoom a fitler with the lat/lon is aplied and you see a new sampling of the current view
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
Add the ability to plot ALL data points on a map for Network/Freight modeling. 1,000 data points is a big time limitation compared to the functionality of some of the competition.
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
This is a feature I need as well. Power Maps in Excel has been able to plot all my points, however Power Bi is extremely limited. It would be okay if it showed a sample when zoomed out, but should be able to show everything when zoomed in to the county level. I also agree that this feature should be able to be turned on and off.

For a customer solution i need to plot round the 30K points.
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
I have observed that it is not practical to visualize a single attribute at a zip code level across three US states with Power BI. I have not yet identified a useful application for the map and filled map as they currently perform.
