Bing Maps Visual Unexpected Error

Hi There

 

As of a few days ago, a map visual (the bing maps built in one) no longer works. I've tried ununinstally and reinstalling desktop, examining the queries and columns, but cannot determine why it suddently stopped working. I get an 'unexpected error' message when it tries to load.

 

I've tried deleting and re-creating the visual, etc... Any ideas?

 

running on win10 with the latest version of desktop.

Ok, by chance I think I've figured this out. I signed out of my account in PowerBI Desktop, and that seems to have fixed the issue. Odd.

Hi @PowerBIzNess,

 

I just tested that the Map visual still works fine for me on running on win10 with the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.52.4921.682 64-bit (November 2017)).

Does this issue also happen to other visuals(i.e. Filled Map, ArcGis Map)? Have you tried opening the same pbix file on another computer to see if it works? Smiley Happy

@v-ljerr-msft I have the latest version (Version: 2.53.4954.481 64-bit (December 2017))

 

Yes, tried opening the file on my laptop with the same version and get the same error. Interestingly the error seems to come and go intermittently with no discernable reason... could there be network/admin policies blocking the Bing Maps API?

 

Thanks!

Everything about Power BI seems to be fixed by shutting down the computer, cleaning it with bleach and restarting. Great memory management from Microsoft

Thank you so much for sharing! I spent so much time trying to figure it out.
