Hello,
Is there a way to display the shape of a marker in a reference layer in Azure Maps? For example my .geojson file has markers with stars like this:
but in the Azure Maps visual in Power BI it only shows as a circle
I'm not sure if I'm missing a setting or if it's not possible at the moment.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @DCELL ,
Properties can be added to each feature within the GeoJSON file to customize how it is styled on the map. This feature uses the simple data layer feature in the Azure Maps Web SDK. For more information, see this document on supported style properties. Custom icon images are not supported within the Azure Maps Power BI visual as a security precaution.
More details: Add a reference layer
Create Shape Map visualizations in Power BI Desktop (preview)
If it does not support, please create an idea and vote for it.
