Bing Map Options

Hello,   I have a map visual created and am trying to do a couple of things I cannot seem to get.   1: Is there a way to show the scale legend you see on maps IE |------| 1km that usually appears...

    Hi JSher,

     

    Question 1: I have not seen how to do this with Bing or ArcGIS. Try the custom visual iconMapv3. This visual includes a scale in the map control settings.

    Question 2: From my understanding of your post, the following may work. 

    I have used Australian cities as your "car GPS coordinates".

    Create a measure for the 2 car types in question, assigning a value of 1 to your  two cars and a value of 2 to all other cars.

     

     

     

    My2CarColours = IF(MAX(AUS[city]) = "Broken Hill" || MAX(AUS[city]) = "Cobar" , 1, 2 )

     

     

     

    Only use lat and long on the map. Do not add anything to legend.

    Then, via Format-> Data Colours, use the Fx function to format by colour scale setting your two cars (Custom Value of 1)  to one colour and all others to another colour (Custom Value of 2).

    You can see the 2 cities, Broken Hill and Cobar are red, and all other cities are blue.
