Please give us the option to configure a custom Map Tile Provider beyond Bing Maps. Some maps provided by Open Street Maps allow us to have custom views that could enrich reports such as Hillshading, Watercolor, Light and Dark minimal maps.

This could be an option on PowerBI Desktop settings for users to proper configure their API Keys for external map services.

RE: Custom map tile provider

I have been struggling with this issue due to company policy of not having any connection to internet for production servers all our reports show blank map. This is really important to have custome and/or offline maps especially for power BI RS.

RE: Custom map tile provider

This awesome prototype could fulfill most of our needs! https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Best-Visual-Contest/Enhanced-Map-with-Custom-Geography-SQL-Server-compatible-via-WKT/cns-p/7636

But at least custom TMS layers would be definitely nice!
