Is it possible to add the functionality of displaying labels (value, location,etc) on the Shape Map visual (in preview as of June 2016)?
The visual does currently display a tooltip for the location.

I too would like to visualize labels on my shape map visual. Thanks.

Kind of crazy that in 2023 the shape map still has no option for some type of label. Even as an interactive map, without the option to overlay the map over a real map with names etc makes it difficult to justify it's use. Really disappointing.

Agree with below comments. Microsoft you should feel utterly embarrassed by the lack of data labels for the Custom Shape Map visual. Makes people want to give up on Power BI completely for mapping.

Useless visual without labels feature.
RE: Shape Map
I would consider this a core feature of this visual which is currently lacking. The lack of this feature is causing issues as charts are potentially not accessible to those with disabilities, as well as being generally less intuitive to use than they otherwise could be.

This is a basic requirement and should have been part of the initial implementation. A bit like having a pie chart without labels. As a workaround, can use text boxes in combination with measures, but it is a clunky solution.
RE: Shape Map
Yes Please add this functionality.
