    When displaying data on a map it gets a little messy with all of Bing Maps colors. When showing data on the map it would be nice to hide roads, alter color schema (and maybe also turn off capital city coloring etc.)

    Also - Mappoint 2004! had really nice features in terms of setting up regions etc - it would be very useful to have that in it's replacement...

    I agree. PowerViews old gray scale option springs to mind. But a simple option to change color saturation or gamma would already be enough to tune down the background colors, without actually needing to change Bing maps' visualization.

    Tableau is far advanced in mapping functionality. It would be nice to see Power BI catch up - even if it starts with basic formatting! Allowing labels on maps, ability to colour bubbles based on a data field!
