Abstract Map Shapefiles as an alternative to geographically accurate map visualisations

Thursday

I'm just throwing this out there as I don't have time to create the shapefiles or learn to develop the visualisations to make this happen, but I came across this abstract map of Europe a while back and I would definitely use a world map version as a custom shapefile for visualisaions (much easier to identify particular countries than a geographically accurate map)

Hi @JamieHankins,

 

thats a interesting thought actually 😊

 

I saw the following video which might help you creating this (even if the video is used to be for using the visual for filtering):
Turn Any IMAGE into an INTERACTIVE VISUAL in Power BI - YouTube

 

Best regards!
