Create a Google Map Visual in Power BI

[vimina]

I have downloaded Dymanica Lab Google Maps for Power BI from Power BI visuals. I have Longitude and Latitude available in the data and also generated temporary Google Map API. But there is a field called Id in the visual which i am unable to generate. Could anyone help with this, I want to understand how Id should be generated.

Hi @vimina ,

If you want the Google Maps API to retrieve useful information from Google Maps.
The following steps need to be done:

• Have a Google account
• Activate the Google Maps Geocoding API
• Find a desired API in Google Developers Guide
• Use the API in Power BI

For more details, you can refer to below blog:

Power BI and Google Maps API (Address Lookup) (biinsight.com)

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
Henry

@davehus Thanks for the response. Much Appreciated 🙂
After dragging the ID field and supplying the Gmaps key, there is another text box to enter "Dynamic Lab Key". Do you have any idea from where I can get this.

Hi @vimina ,

I just had a quick look at the sample file and the id is just an incremental number starting from 1. If you add an index from 1 in power query and add it to visual it might work for you.
