Azure Maps Reference Layer URL not working
Does anybody have a solution for this issue:
I have an Azure Maps visual and want to add a reference layer. When I select type "file upload" it works as expected. When I select type "URL" it won't work.
I've uploaded the exact same file to an Azure Blob storage. Anonymous blob access is active. File URL is like https://storageaccountname.blob.core.windows.net/container/folder/file.json and I have validated the path and public access without signin.
Are there any settings missing to make this work?

Hello @AMeyersen
Ensure that your Azure Blob Storage is configured to allow CORS for the required domains, such as `https://ms-pbi.pbi.microsoft.com`. You can configure this in the Azure portal under the “CORS” settings for your storage account
In some cases, renaming the file extension from `.geojson` to `.json` has resolved issues with reference layers not displaying in Power BI.
Please see if this helps.
thanks

Hi @nilendraFabric , awesome, adding the CORS settings for the storage account fixed things.
