    Add the option to specify certain fields as tooltips in the map and filled map visuals.

    RE: Map Tooltips

    This seems like it would be the first thought when creating tooltips - what goes inside them and what does that look like? Tableau is so far ahead in this area that it is ridiculous

    RE: Map Tooltips

    Agreed users do not need to see the latitude and longitude of a place but this is only important for the report maker

    This also applies when using postcodes in the location field. My users see incidents on a map and are not concerned about seeing the postcode

    RE: Map Tooltips

    Agree - users do not need to see some of the data in a tooltip.

    RE: Map Tooltips

    I'd love to be able to hide the lat/long coordinates in my tooltip. It clutters the report.

    RE: Map Tooltips

    Yes, having the ability to remove coordinates would be a nice feature. For my purposes, I do not want in my tooltip

    RE: Map Tooltips

    I would like to also vote for possibility of hiding coordinates. I believe that in most cases they are just pointless.
