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!

RE: Display another visualization in the Map Labels & Show/Hide Buttons
Hi,
I am working on an interactive map on Power BI Desktop which comprises of colleges/universities across the state of Georgia. I want to display only the University Name and count of number of programs across each university, when I hover my cursor on the locations. But instead i am also seeing latitude and longitude of a location. So, how can I hide them on the map. Please let me know if we already have a solution for this problem.
Thanks!

Please work on this, it was the first feedback I received about my map visualizations (hide lat long).

Users don't care to see latitude and longitude, only the correlating data points. We need to ability to suppress latitude and longitude when point is hovered over.

While it doesn't address the map label component of your request, you can provide additional information in your hover-over tooltips as follows:
Create a measure to return a data or string value:
= FIRSTNONBLANK([],TRUE)
(If in DirectQuery mode, you'll need to enable the PowerBI global option to "Allow unrestricted measures in DirectQuery mode")
Add the new measure to your tooltip.

Yes I would love to be able to add chart visuals on the map pop-up labels too!!
