Does Power BI Map support Aerial background like PowerView?

[Anonymous]

I am working on converting a PowerView map to be used in PowerBI and I don't see an option to set the background to Aerial.   Is there one?

Hi @Anonymous

You can connect your Powerview file to the PBI. Go to the File and Import from the Workbook contents.

This will decrease your development time.

The PowerView report I have is in SharePoint with a tabular data source.   I am not seeing anyway of importing it?   Any suggestions or ideas?   Also is Aerial just not a supported feature for PowerView at this time?

@Anonymous In order to continue to use/show the Power View report, you would need to re-create it in Excel and import the Excel file. This will allow you to basically use the Excel doc in Power BI, and when the report is clicked on it would open in Excel Online and show the Power View report.

The functionality you seek isn't in the OOB maps. There are other options for mapping in R and Shape map importing, but nothing plug and play without some dev time.

Thanks for all of the responses!   I will check to see if there is a request started for this feature.
