    The ability to display and create Filled Maps (choropleth) using the native SQL Server geometry/geography data types is a must to allow for meaningful geospatial visualization. e.g. Visualize crimes by police beat.

    This idea is shared since 2016. Look like never going to happen. Using Tableau it's look very simple, just drag and drop and then our map is ready instantly. Our map. Not US map as the default.

    So is this ever going to be added? I check every few months and it does not look like this is happening.

    If there is a way to show data types like sdo_geometry, it will make life a lot easier.
