I work in the Real Estate industry and receive requests to plot data points on map showing sales in which our company has participated. Everything went fine until I tried viewing all the data points and ended up with "Showing a Representative Sample". I would like the ability to show a minimum of 2500 data points

RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map

This is an embarrassingly low number of points to display, renders Power BI almost unusable for point data when compared to others.

I had the similar issue I tried to plot point Brazilian cities around 5k points but there is a limit it can plot just 3500 maximum point. It's frustraction. I hope it will be improve in the future update.

Work in Telco and I've often been asked to plot +2,5 million Lat / Long.

Would not care about performance loss if it's an options, even if just on the desktop.

Currently using Python or R to plot the data instead.

I work in the water industry in Scotland, and as we are starting out in PowerBI this has become an issue for us too.

We need more than this, 2500 is far too little.

I plotted 60k counties easily in Tableau using a filled map, but found it impossible to do in Power BI. It could be done in R, but didn't meet the request for a filled map. Please increase the data point limit.

RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map

I administer electronic equipment inventories in all 254 counties in the State of Texas. I prepare an analysis for each county to determine quantities needed in the counties. I also need to know status and location. I have a data sheet that lists the location of every unit across the state. I want to know if I can build individual county maps that contain the physical location and quanties at those locations.

We desperately need this, 2500 is far too little.

This is absolutely vital, especially as it is marketed to handle big data.. I work with survey data across the Great Barrier Reef, we have in excess of 50,000 records we need to map. OUr agency will have to switch platforms if not adressed
