Map Visualization Not Working

[jeffclarke]

Two days ago, this map displayed correctly when going through one of the tutorials.

Yesterday and today, I was trying to create a new doc using a map visualization from another tutorial and it would not work, then I tried using a more simple one with just country data in a Excel sheet, still no visualization map.

Then I exited everything, restarted and now my first map that worked previously, does not display.

I then starting Googling and searching here as to what setting may have changed and reading other posts here.

Conclusion, I'm at a loss as to what changed or if it's a Privacy issue, or Bing is being blocked somehow from our network - does anyone know what may be causing maps not to display?

Also, was trying to see where to check for updates, but don't see a menu option within Power BI Desktop ?

Thanks everyone.

Map vizualization is not working for me either

I can access Bing.maps

Power BI Desktop version is 2.50

Ideas?

Thanks guys, sometimes the obvious is overlooked - for some reason it looks like recent upgrades on our internal network are now blocking Bing Maps,  we are investigating why.

I'm working on one of the Tutorials and am having trouble with the Map Visualization for STATE name.

The first tutorial I did worked fine and I have gone through the online tips as suggested in related posts, but this one doesn't want to recognize it properly...and yes I have already changed the Data Category to State or Province.

Tried to insert a screen shot but there is no upload function.

The source of the data is
