Different Layers on Power BI
wondering if this is possible in Power BI...
an example like this one:
Hello thiamhuat2026,
Yes, something similar can be achieved in Power BI, but not natively to the same extent as shown in your example.
If you're looking for an interactive map with multiple layers (such as buildings, boundaries, roads, and custom overlays), you can consider:- Azure Maps visual, which supports multiple data layers and rich mapping capabilities.
- ArcGIS for Power BI, which offers advanced GIS features and layered map visualizations.
- Custom visuals from AppSource for more specialized mapping scenarios.
If your requirement is a fully interactive 3D city map like the one in your screenshot, Power BI alone may not be sufficient. In such cases, embedding a solution built with technologies like Mapbox, Cesium, or another web-based mapping framework into Power BI is typically the preferred approach.
