Anonymous yep, on it. 

 

DuncanP would it be possible for me to get a copy of the dataset you're using so we can reproduce the issue here at Esri?

hello scottball, coud you take a look at my example also?

 

Polish regions (same data set: ShapeMap vs ArcGIS) and ArcGIS has some missed regions.

    ThunderDub - can you provide the dataset of Polish regions that aren't matching correctly? 

     

    dcresp - we are looking into what we can do re: a legend. Screen real estate inside a Power BI visual is a challenge, and one that we are carefully considering. The interactive nature of online maps mitigates some need for a legend; hovering and clicking and interacting with the map can provide information that is normally stored in a legend on paper / non-interactive maps. That being said, I agree that sometimes it is just nice to have a legend.

      scottball I apreciate your points about the legend but still thing that some sort of legend is essential so that people can understand what they are looking at with a quick glance. Additionally if the report is printed it still makes sense. Somthing similar to the native map legend would be great. At the moment I am using a native map visual hiden behind an ESRI map visual just to get the legend which is not a great way of having to do it.

    The polygons for this filled map seem to come up with a very complete shape but the ones for Australian regions come up with a very basic shape that does not even fill the map. Is there a setting that I am missing ThunderDub?

      scottball is there any news on fixing the Polygon shapes for the Australian ASGS georgraphies. Our GIS person took one look at them and believed it is a mistake that somone has loaded. Also the ABS are now working on the ASGS 2016 and data is being released in that format. Are you able to update the ASGS in the Power BI app to accept the 2016 ASGS. Ideally ASGS 2011 and 2016 at the moment. Getting the polygons right to the ASGS would be a great start. I really want to use this functionality but at the moment the maps look terrible as I showed in the previous post. I love the potential of this visual but it is not quite there just yet.
