I would like to be able to add WMS layers (and ideally other map services) to the maps in PowerBI. Bing is great for a lot of things but there are a ton of WMS servers out there including services companies have spent time and money developing It would be nice to use those custom maps with PowerBI.

This is doable with Icon Map (to my understanding). Though I am still trying to figure it out

RE: Add WMS map layers

Spotfire enables adding multiple layers on maps - data layers, wms layers and more. NOAA offers free wms layers showing hurricane patterns and USGS.gov offers wms layers of seismic activity. These are valuable additions to maps that our users depend upon. They won't give transition from Spotfire to Power Bi until this capability is available in Power BI.
