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

We need more than this, 2500 is far too little.

I plotted 60k counties easily in Tableau using a filled map, but found it impossible to do in Power BI. It could be done in R, but didn't meet the request for a filled map. Please increase the data point limit.

RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map

I administer electronic equipment inventories in all 254 counties in the State of Texas. I prepare an analysis for each county to determine quantities needed in the counties. I also need to know status and location. I have a data sheet that lists the location of every unit across the state. I want to know if I can build individual county maps that contain the physical location and quanties at those locations.

We desperately need this, 2500 is far too little.

This is absolutely vital, especially as it is marketed to handle big data.. I work with survey data across the Great Barrier Reef, we have in excess of 50,000 records we need to map. OUr agency will have to switch platforms if not adressed

This is a critical issue for my company. Maybe refresh when zooming to continuously show the maximum in the new window?

RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map

hello, I want to emphasize that the total amount of data points we can view in maps is much too low. I'm monitoring learning progress of students worldwide. As data is becoming more and more important to improve our businesses for lager markets data limitations are slowing us down. Therefore I think 2500 is indead a minimum. We just started and have already 3000 records we think we need 50.0000 :-)

Updates??
This is a critical feature for many of us, and I could see myself abandoning use of the software altogether if this limitation is not addressed.

Any update on this? I can't even make a territory map based on US counties because it exceeds the limit.
