Using custom polygons and zoom in background map

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a way to upload my custom polygons and to be able to use a background map and drill down (zoom in) to see the cities and streets names.

Is it possible to upload custom polygons to a filled map?

Alternatively, is it possible to upload custom polygons using Shape Map and to be able to zoom in to a background map?

 

I know that's possible with the paid version of the ArcGIS plugin for Power BI, but unfortunately I can't afford it.

 

Thanks in advance for your time and help 🙂

    Shape Map would be your best bet outside of ArcGIS, I know you can load custom shapes but not sure about the "zooming to a background map", not sure what that means.

    You can't really mess with the other default map visuals.

    Hi , yafit 

    I’m not very clear what you need, because I have never used that paid feature.

    You  can take a try  of this custome visual.

    Here is a sample.

  • Hello:

    I'm looking to map city names, but I want city names to be displayed without disappearing

    I don't want the name to be learned on a floating card only when I hover the mouse over the cursor.

    I show you the problem below

    The first map (gray map) shown is how I get the map. but I would like to show as the map of the second figure
