Map not displaying points when in service

HI, 

I have map that works fine when on desktop, but gives no points when in app.powerBI service mode. It only showed individual point when selected in related table, and after that point stays stuck to map. Help pls, and thanks in advance.

Solution found. All latitude and longitude must be formatted as decimal numbers, not as text. Text can pass under Desktop, but not in service.

@Anonymous Which visual? Is it out of box or custom? Also, check your format options, I'm not familiar with this error but there have been cases of some slight changes to the formatting that effects visuals in the Service after deployment.

Hi, thanks for answering. This is map that comes with PowerBI desktop, not custom. There are 180 points, that display it self nicely when in PowerBI desktop, but when on service, there aren't any. Latitude and Longitude are set as data type Text, Latitude, Longitude. First picture is of Desktop, second is of Service. Also I noticed that names of oceans are in Croatian?, but also that there aren't any other names of streets or towns? I have set my regional settings to US, but it made no difference.
