title: Disable layers (like roads) on map visualization in PowerBI
body: <p>I've created a really simple PowerBI report based on some dummy data in a CSV. It looks like this:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/MYaTV.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/MYaTV.png" alt="powerbi map with lots of roads"></a></p>
  
  <p>To repro my scenario just input any kind of map data like the single number shown above, and plot it in a map visualization with all the default settings.</p>
  
  <p>The map has a <em>lot</em> of clutter, mostly caused by the roads and their names (and to a lesser extent by the city names). <strong>Is there any way to disable layers in the map visualization?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I've tried to answer my own question by:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Going through all of the individual settings on the map visualization;</li>
  <li>Using some <a href="https://www.google.nl/search?q=disable+roads+on+powerbi+map+visualization" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google-fu</a> to find my answer, skimming <a href="https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-tutorial-filled-maps-choropleths/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the most promising result</a> and a secondary <a href="https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-tips-and-tricks-for-power-bi-map-visualizations/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">set of "tips and tricks"</a>;</li>
  <li>Re-watching the appropriate parts of <a href="https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/getting-started-power-bi/table-of-contents" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the Pluralsight course on PowerBI</a>;</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But haven't found a way to do this yet.</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing something? Or is it just not possible?</p>
