I work in the Real Estate industry and receive requests to plot data points on map showing sales in which our company has participated. Everything went fine until I tried viewing all the data points and ended up with "Showing a Representative Sample". I would like the ability to show a minimum of 2500 data points

Add the ability to plot ALL data points on a map for Network/Freight modeling. 1,000 data points is a big time limitation compared to the functionality of some of the competition.

This is a feature I need as well. Power Maps in Excel has been able to plot all my points, however Power Bi is extremely limited. It would be okay if it showed a sample when zoomed out, but should be able to show everything when zoomed in to the county level. I also agree that this feature should be able to be turned on and off.

I have observed that it is not practical to visualize a single attribute at a zip code level across three US states with Power BI. I have not yet identified a useful application for the map and filled map as they currently perform.

In fact, a minimum of 100k dots are required to be plotted here..

I second this, I need waaaay more points. I know it might have some performance impact. So maybe it should be an opt-in feature.
