You need to able to add data labels to the maps (in power map, power view, and power BI Designer) such that you don't need to hover over the area to get the information.
Ideally you could add the data by your location identifier or even customize it.

RE: Data Labels for Maps
is so stupid, who thought a map without labels was brilliant - who designed this tool
RE: Data Labels for Maps
This is stupid, who thought it was a great idea to show maps without labels? Probably the most idiotic decision Microsoft have made in power bi.
RE: Data Labels for Maps
I have to agree. This tool is fantastic, but the inability to add data labels is a real let down.
RE: Data Labels for Maps
Agreed, we need to have data and value labels for mapping if the feature is offered. (Apart from hovering). I think this is a critical add. Is this something in the works?
RE: Data Labels for Maps
I absolutely love Power BI. I am working on an important project and was very excited about the mapping feature, however without data labels, I have to use another mapping program. It's frustrating and disappointing because I am the biggest champion of Power BI at work. Any plans to have this implemented in the near future?
RE: Data Labels for Maps
When is this coming out? Need it like last year
RE: Data Labels for Maps
I am looking for this as well. Map is useless if it can not be interpreted.
RE: Data Labels for Maps
100% with this one. Without labels, a map is useless, especially with exporting visuals to a deck.
RE: Data Labels for Maps
This feature is still not available in Power BI, we can do this very easily in Tableau. Maps are of no use without having data labels, not possible to hover over map to see the values everytime.
RE: Data Labels for Maps
this feature would be very helpful
