RE: Aerial (Satellite Photo) MAP Background

Please add route map as a new visual as this is extensively used everywhere especially in Supply Chain and other areas.

RE: Aerial (Satellite Photo) MAP Background

Please add to either existing Power BI map (BING Map --- better would be GOOGLE Maps) or expand the selection of base maps in the Arc Maps for Power BI to include one satellite view (ESRI already has this...)

This feature is used heavily at my company to help visualize a location for sales personnel to be able to drive to. Using this in PowerView and SharePoint today and need it before moving forward with PowerBI.

RE: Aerial (Satellite Photo) MAP Background

Seeing points on a map is OK but when those points are directly related to the environment around them we need to see the real world.
