"Clear All Slicers" action doesn't clear map selection #34

Repro steps:

This isn't the most severe issue, but I have a fair number of filters on my pages, and users tend to lose track of what is applied. Having to manually clear the map selection after clicking "clear all slicers" is unintuitive.

That said, the map has otherwise been fantastic and I appreciate the work that has been put into this!

It appears this issue is not related to Icon Map. It has to do with Power BI's extremely unintuitive behavior. For those wondering, Power BI only offers "clear slicers" as a button action. When clicking on a visual, you aren't applying a slicer, so "clear slicers" doesn't do anything. As of right now, Power BI has no out of the box solution for clearing all slicers and filters from a button (which is mind boggling).

This is the work around I used: https://radacad.com/clear-all-slicers-in-power-bi-a-bookmark-story

It requires you make a new bookmark for every single page, and manually link that bookmark to your "clear filters" button on that page. I cannot stress how stupid it is that we have to do this, however this is most definitely a Microsoft issue.
