ARCGIS, Maps, and Embdded API (Oh My!)

DQuigg — Fri, 19 Jan 2018 22:15:38 GMT

We are still using the old version of embedded and are making plans to switch over to the new Power BI Embedded. ARCGIS was not supported under the old embedded and from the documentation I can find still sems to indicate it is not supported in embedded API. I am having trouble finding decent mapping solutions that work in embedded. Does anyone have any experience in this area that can help steer me. The default Bing maps are horrible and are based on names which is problematic. I need something that recognizes FIPS codes down to census tract and block group level if possible.

Thanks!

Hi @DQuigg,

According to this documentation, ArcGIS Maps for Power BI is still not available in Power BI Embedded currently.

Service/App	Availability
Power BI Desktop	Yes
Power BI service (PowerBI.com)	Yes
Power BI mobile applications	Yes
Power BI publish to web	No
Power BI Embedded	No
Power BI service embedding (PowerBI.com)	No

Here is the idea shared on Power BI Ideas forum. You can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature.

Regards

I did - thank you. Pretty disappointing that we can't have a viable mapping solution for embedded. The current alternatives are less than satisfactory.
