    We need to be able to control what shows up in the Map Labels when you hover over a location in both maps and filled map. Ability to show / hide fields is a must - for example the end user may not care or even get confused by seeing the Latitude and Longitude of a location. We need to also be able to display another visualization in the map label like a table or matrix with the relevant data for the location the user is hovering over with the mouse. Please see http://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/national-results-map - perfect example - when you hover over a county you get a table with fields - we need something like this!

    Agree with every comment here - no-one really cares about Lat and Long on the map. Need to show other category labels to actually be meaningful

    Agree - ability not to show Lat Long would tidy up a lot.

    Labels are very helpful for the user to understand any visualization

    I would love to be able to specify which "Category" is displayed on the visual. I would like the ability to be able to display it always or hover over and display.

    If there was at least an option to change order of labels so that lat and long are not the first thing visible.

    I can't believe that this feature is still not implemented.
