    The ability to display and create Filled Maps (choropleth) using the native SQL Server geometry/geography data types is a must to allow for meaningful geospatial visualization. e.g. Visualize crimes by police beat.

    How about adding a Lasso feature to select a collection of given data points within the map, by drawing the boundaries around the dot's?

    This is currently a big limitation for displaying spatial data. This feature is needed desperately.
