Using own maps
Hi there,
I want to show the boundary areas within a city covered by different police stations. For example, if there are four police stations in a city then I want to draw boundaries in a city which shows which area is look after by which police station. My question is that is it possible in power BI that we can use our imported maps instead of using Bing's map? If yes, could you please share a link of doing that? I am creating boundaries in ArcGIS. Is it possible to import map drawn on arcGIS and use it instead of Bing's map?
