unsolved Bubble plot on Map

Hi,

I am trying to do a very basic visualization on a map chart and I'm running into an issue.

I have 5 different cities in the US with potential candidates in each city (based on information from a 3rd party). It all works until I look at the map and it just highlights the individual cities and it's way too small. Is there a way to change the highlighted cities to a bubble plot that's reasonable to see?

I can do it on 3d maps, but I'm going to be asking others to enter their own 5 cities with corresponding numbers and 3D maps are too difficult for them

Nah. Like you said 3d maps or a cloud mapping service like Maptive could do it. Batchgeo is another.

So there is no way to put a bubble plot on top of the corresponding cities like the 3D map allows? I'd really prefer to not go through anything outside of the general map chart

PowerBI has some decent map options

The problem is that I'm going to need others to use this very basic map and not everyone will have access to powerbi
