    It would be helpful to have the option to display a Bing road map under the imported shape file.

    We'd love to do this too, note that this has been raised here too:

    This is a necessary feature for agricultural companies. Many of which just select Qlik instead of Power BI because of that basemap functionality. Hope to see this in nearest updates

    Yes, I would like to see this feature. I am trying to map Census data at the tract level but it it almost useless without an underlying road map to orient the viewer.

    With an option to change the transparency of the shape map, so that you can see the basemap underneath please.
