Can Power BI mapping visuals handle multiple layers?

[Anonymous]

Hi

I'm new to mapping in Power BI and have been surprised at how limited the mapping functionality seems to be. I would like to create a map with a filled (choropleth) bottom layer and pinned data overlayed as a top layer. This is straight forward to implement in most mapping software but seems to be absent from the Power BI mapping visuals I have seen.

Can someone please point me toward a Power BI mapping visual that can handle multiple layers?

Best wishes

Tristan

Hi @Anonymous ,

You may take a look at Globe Map or import custom visuals from the market place.

@Anonymous , I think with ArcGIS, you should - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Multiple-layers-for-the-ArcGIS-Maps-Visual-with-the-standard/td-p/1084695

Thanks for the quick reply @amitchandak . Unfortunately, having read the link you shared clearly it isn't possible to include multiple data layers in an ArcGIS map (see the highlighted text).

Any other thoughts?

Hi,

For our project, we would like to use differents layers into an interactive map (f.i polygones et another layer with differents points that We should filter ) in Power Bi.  Custom visuals should do that but I haven't info about that.. someone could help us ? thank you
