    Can PowerBI Map visualizations show "routing"?

    For example, a record has "From" and "To" address info (either street address or lat/long). The Map visual would show a "line" linking the two locations. Like an airline route map. The thickness of the line could be volume/expression related.

    Could be used for logistics route map visualizations.

    This idea is very important for supply chain visualizations, showing the paths for sourcing.
    If you wanted to enhance the idea, you could allow the functionality to be displayed on a custom picture uploaded by the user. Then instead of just maps it could be material flow through a warehouse or factory with coordinates to represent locations. Same concept

    This feature/add-on is valuable info to have in supply chain for better operations planning.

    RE: Power BI Map Routing

    Given the popularity of network analysis (particular for Supply Chain Distribution Network), the feature will be very helpful for visualizing the results

    RE: Power BI Map Routing

    This is a MUST for our organization...we are trying to test capabilities in comparison to other visualization products and this is one major gap. Is there an ETA?
