Maps

Working with Maps, Azure Maps, and Filled Maps in Power BI

When to use

Use to show your data and how it relates to location using either point maps or filled region maps

Instructions

Working with the Map and Azure Maps visuals:

• Use either the Location or the Latitude and Longitude
• When using Latitude & Longitude on your map, change to Don’t Summarize if it aggregates
• Separate data using the Legend Field
• Change point size by dragging a measure into the Size area
• Tooltips are also available

Working with the Filled Map visual:

• Must use a Location field
• Use a Country if necessary to get your data in the correct place
• Tooltips are also available

Hints & tips

• If you are not connected to the internet when Power BI Desktop opens, the maps will not render
• Use Longitude and Latitude wherever possible as it provides much more accurate data
• If you must use a location field, aggregate one that includes “Street, City, State, Country” to try and get better results
