That would be awesome if we could create binary map flows. For example having 3 parameters : origin, destination, and a value that would affect the arrow width.
Then the extra plus would be to be able to drill down or up according to the origin/dest, for example if the input is a city, drilling up would group by country, then maybe area and continent.

Yeah, this would be great. This idea is similar or the same as this one: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/8268978-power-bi-map-routing

RE: Map flows Visualization

A map visualization to show product flow from origination to destination with the width of the arrow representative of the trade flow would be awesome. I could really use this for a project I'm working on. Something like this: http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/forum/graphic-design/resources/68883-software-to-show-global-trade-flows

RE: Map flows Visualization

Yeah, I guess this would be like a Sankey diagram, but overlaid on a map. I could really use this for a project I'm working on where I'm looking at how students flow through a bunch of schools in a geographical region. To be able to visually see arrows representing flows between schools would be a revelation.
