Creating Map layer

Hello all, 

 

i am new to this forum and also to using power bi. Please I will need help on how to create a map layer. 

 

I have ave data that have Lat. and Lon. I will like to create two layer using the same data. In such a way that I can use slicer / filter on one data while I am able to see the other date. 

 

Example i I have two locations A and B  . To be able to see A and B on one layer that is Fixed. while I can use slicer on on the other layer. 

 

I have search through this forum but not able to find any answer. Your help will be highly appreciated.

Hi @Chidi2,

 

To create custom map layer, you should use ArcGIS map visual. Here are two links for your reference:
