Azure Maps Data-Bound Reference Layer WITH Markers Issue

[bjuar]

Hello,

I am building a Power BI report using the Azure Maps visual.

I have managed to make a data-bound reference layer according to region. Selecting the region appropriately sections off and zooms into the appropriate polygon. 

However, this is only a part of my data. I also have markers I wish to display on the map. Unfortunately, I cannot use Latitude and Longitude with a location in Azure Maps. Fortunately, I also have the Address. Adding Address to Location under Region does not show the markers, while adding Address above Region does show the markers. This however breaks the intended sectioning I want. 

Is there a notable way around this? I wish to section off both the reference layer and the Address markers when selecting a region on my slicer.

Thank you!

Hi @bjuar  - This is a limitation of the Azure Maps visual rather than your data model.

Note: Azure Maps absolutely supports Latitude and Longitude. In fact, Microsoft recommends using coordinates whenever possible because they're faster and more accurate than geocoding addresses.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response! When I mentione Latitude and Longitude with Location, I'm referring to another limitation where you cannot have a variable in the Location field when Latitude and Longitude are present.
