Power BI designer should integrate Power Map design experience, don't let Power Map just like a stand-along part of Power BI...

We are looking to improve our maps. A new Shape Map control is expected in the summer which will solve some of these issues.

RE: Power Map integration

The mapping in Power BI really needs to be improved and this would be a good way to do it.

RE: Power Map integration

That should be a no-brainer!

RE: Power Map integration

PowerMap should also be integrated in SharePoint BI features

RE: Power Map integration

Totally agree with all comments below. Hope Microsoft is listening as it really seems like common sense to merge these two things...

RE: Power Map integration

For an international organisation a Power Map is the way to go. I wish the Maps in BI would offer at least drill down features, or to be able to add some more data to the bubble (such as % increase measure AND the underlying sales figure).

Giving this 3 votes because everybody loves the maps.

RE: Power Map integration

I would love to develop the 3 Dimensional PowerMaps in Power BI. Can we get this added?

RE: Power Map integration

Integrating PowerMap would make PowerBI a much more compelling offering. It has some great functionality that should sit within this stack

RE: Power Map integration

The ability to add layers to the map is all crucial.

RE: Power Map integration

Yes. Power map has some great features that are missing from power view. In particular:
1. The ability to aggregate point data (latitude / longitude) at a region level (postal code).
2. Treat point data on a map as a heat map instead of a point.

It would be great to get these two features in 2d maps in power view.

RE: Power Map integration

This is something we are waiting for, the ability to upload a interactive power Map to Dash board, in case this take some time try to make possible to upload power Map video to Power View canvas or dashboard link
