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.

RE: Power BI Map Routing

This is a feature that we use with Tableau. Now we are migrate from Tableau to PBI, and this is one of the biggest GAP. We need it ASAP.

RE: Power BI Map Routing

With this feature we would have an amazing benefit by bringing the required visibility and understanding.

RE: Power BI Map Routing

Would be absolutely great to be able to visualise this - we have people on daily basis asking for a graphical overview of our around 1.200 supply chains :)

I'd appreciate this. Like Flow Map from Weiwei Cui, which sadly doesn't seem to work after so many Power BI updates.

RE: Power BI Map Routing

likewise, applying the airline route concept as above, we need to have a feature also covering vessel cargo/shipping marine route from departure terminal to arrival terminal

RE: Power BI Map Routing

Hi MS Team,

This option is very important for the companies like shipping,Air and logistics ,who will be using plenty of analysis ,Please consider this high priority and release some option to Show Route Tracking,

There are some custom Route Map app available but it is not working properly ,Still have bugs ,Very upset after using that.

Thanks,
