Azure Map auto zoom does not work when bubbles span the antimeridian

[TomShanley]

If data points span the anitmerdian, then the Azure Map automatic zoom does not well.  For example for New Zealand locations, which includes the Chatham Islands.  Typically the longitude for NZ main islands go up to +178 and Chatham Islands are across the antimeridian at around -176

When the auto zoom is used on the Azure Map visual it centres the map at around -1 longitude, and is then very zoomed out.  Ideally it should centre around -179, and be much more zoomed in

This zooming works fine with the previous Power BI Map Visual.

we can't migrate any maps to Azure Maps for our New Zealand clients  until this is fixed

Hi  @TomShanley ,

Thank you for your feedback, I would like to know more details about this issue.
For example:
1. Does the problem appear in both Power BI Desktop and Service? What is the version you are using?
2. Can you provide some screenshots or sample pbix to show the issue in more detail? (Please be careful not to include sensitive information)

Best regards.

In the Power BI desktop - I've selected some longitudes that span the antimeridian.  The top left is the existing Map visual, which zooms nicely.  The bottom right is the Azure map which centres to the Atlantic, and you have to stretch it wide to see any data points:

Same behaviour in Power BI service online:

I'm using the latest Power BI desktop (July 2023) on Windows
