Azure Maps in Power BI keeps resizing when auto zoom disabled

I am trying to fix an Azure map so it does not resize and does not change the Style from Blank back to Grey. This is very frustrating and I am not sure how this got past certification for a release as it is useless in the is state.

    If you disable auto zoom, you have to manually specify the zoom level and center points in the options below the auto zoom button.

    As for the changing map style, I'm not able to reproduce that. Make sure you save your report after editing it. File -> Save, otherwise your changes will be reverted.

    That actually looks pretty good. Some thoughts:

    • Have you tried the dark greyscale map style to see if it is suitable for you (no washed out).
    • For "resizing" there is two possible things that could be happening. The map could be zooming into the data (unless auto zoom is disabled), or the available area for the map in the report/web page changes (browser size changes, page zoomed...) which would cause the map to resize its physical side and may result in it having to change its zoom level. When the map container area is small, certain zoom levels may be unavailable I believe.

    Are you sure you are using the Azure Maps visual for that map? I don't see the copyrights/logo in the bottom right corner that always appear in that visual. I don't believe there is any way to disable that in the options, so had to ask.
