Azure Map Lasso Tool
Hi Julio7,
Thank you for your positive feedback on the new Azure Maps visual in Power BI. We’re pleased to know it is supporting you in delivering more detailed and directional insights to your customers.
In response to your question about the Lasso selection tool, we appreciate your interest in the visual's interactive features.
Currently, the Lasso (free-form selection) tool is not available in Azure Maps visual for Power BI.
The Ctrl + Click option enables multi-point selection (selecting multiple individual points), but free-form or lasso selection, as seen in the standard map visual or scatter chart has not yet been introduced in Azure Maps.
Workarounds you can have a look:
You can utilize Ctrl + Click to select multiple specific points on the Azure Maps visual, where this feature is supported. If precise spatial selection is not possible, it is advisable to offer alternative filtering methods, such as slicers based on location, direction, or route metadata. For scenarios requiring filtering by geographic patterns or clusters, enabling features like clustering, bubble layers, or custom map layers can effectively group data and enhance user interaction, reducing the need for freeform selection tools.
For the feature we encourage you to submit this feature request or upvote it via the Power BI Ideas Forum, as user feedback helps prioritize future improvements.
