Add reference layer of elevation information and plot point data over it
I want to make a map of insured locations in flood prone region. The map should look like this: The base layer should be like a heat map which stores information of elevation. So color difference bas...
@Tejassg have you looked at the ArcGIS map? I have to believe it has built-in elevation. See image below. Otherwise, can you publish a sample of the data you are getting from JSON? That said, you're still not sure that any other map visuals will give you what you want other than ArcGIS.
Thanks Greg_Deckler. Here is sample code of JSON file. "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ {"type":"Feature","properties":{"elevation":"129.74","feat_code":"3020","status":"Unchanged","sub_code":"302000","source_id":"21302000001"},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.98256951739029,40.70191431011495]}} {"type":"Feature","properties":{"elevation":"39.10194804","feat_code":"3000","status":"Unchanged","sub_code":"300000","source_id":"21300000148"},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.98020660121956,40.70313319671336]}} I am expecting it will function like an additional layer on which I will plot my client data. So I tried using 'ARCGIS Maps for Power BI'. I am not able to paste here the snipe of how it looks. But it looks like points plotted on map.
Anonymous OK, I have been looking at this and what I think you need is an elevation TopoJSON map of your area, I do not think that what you have is that or am I incorrect? If you can get a TopoJSON map file, you could use Shape map to display it.
- Greg_Deckler, you are right, the file is plain JSON, not ToPoJSON. If I have understood, I need to create ToPoJSON file and import it in PBI using "ArcGIS maps for power bi". right? In that case, it will become a layer on which I will plot customer locations.
Anonymous Actually, I am not sure about ArcGIS and TopoJSON. TopoJSON absolutely works with the default Shape Map visual.
