Community SupportHi Anonymous,
Thank you for your query on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
As per my understanding, currently, neither Azure Maps nor ArcGIS Maps for Power BI supports directional or flow-style mapping between two geographical points (e.g., country-to-country trade flows).
Azure Maps offers support for bubble maps, heatmaps, and filled maps, which are suitable for point-based or area-based data, but not for representing directional flows.
ArcGIS Maps is highly effective for choropleth mapping, density layers, and reference layers; however, it is not ideal for visualising trade flow data.
Kindly consider the following alternatives, which may help resolve your issue:
-
Sankey Chart (Microsoft Certified Visual):
Ideal for depicting flow from one entity to another (e.g., Reporter → Partner). It is simple to configure and supports filters such as product, year, or measure. -
Deneb (Advanced Custom Visual):
Enables complete customisation using JSON/Vega to render arcs or flow lines between countries on a map. This is well-suited for replicating a geographic flow map.
