Provide an option on the map visualization to disable auto-zoom. This will allow us to create a map that is fixed on a particular location regardless of the rest of the data and will not re-center or zoom in/out when filters are changed.

With the October release of Power BI Desktop, you can now disable auto-zoom, allowing you to keep the map at a specific zoom level. For more info, check out the latest Power BI Desktop blog post: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-october-feature-summary/

RE: Toggle to disable map auto-zoom

As a note for those who were having issues with the feature in the Power BI service, there was a bug but it's fixed now (as of March 18th). Everything should work as expected now.

Same issue here. No matter I turn on or turn off auto-zoom, my map always zoom out after filtering values in power bi service. It's working great in edit mode but reading mode.

I've noticed the same thing. Auto-zoom can be turned off in the Power BI App, but not in the webviewer. I'm not sure this is actually completed, as the feature doesn't work once you publish it.

Same issue here. In desktop everything works how I intend (no auto zooming in or out when filtering). After a publish, if I turn off all filters, the map will auto zoom out. It does NOT auto zoom to the filtered values though, only when removing filters.

In Power BI Embedded, The map still autozooms, even if the autozoom is disabled while creating the report from the desktop. Please escalate this one!

Hi, the auto-zoom feature does not work for published report.

When turn off on EDIT MODE; map stay as it is when changing filters. But if we publish it and use the same filters, map behavior ZOOM OUT automatically by ignoring the parameter.

I second, disabling autozoom is a necessary feature.
