Flight Path Visual - 'Flow Map' alternative?

[StidifordN]

Has anyone discovered an alternative to the Flow Map for visualising flight paths? 

Originally i wasn't using Lat/Lon for Origin and Destination, but I have these values.  Throwing these into the Flow Map doesn't work either unfortunately.

When it was supported

What it looks like now

Hi @StidifordN,

You could give my "Maps" visual a try: Browse Apps | Microsoft Marketplace

It is capable of mapping routes (even multi stop), as well as points and shapes, and comes with many options.

Kind regards,

Alex

Not sure how I haven't stumbled onto this earlier - or found a post related to it.  Route Map Visual.

It is no where as well presented as the flow map for the purpose I used it for - but it works!

It requires the Lat / Lon for Origin and Destination, and you can't change the map to be greyscale to make the lines 'pop', or create a different bubble colours to the line... at least from the initial 5 mintes of playing around i have done.

Hi @StidifordN 

Have you had a chance to look through the responses shared earlier? If anything is still unclear, we’ll be happy to provide additional support.

Yes i have, and water is still clear as mud.

Hi @StidifordN 

Thanks for checking those resources. I understand if it still feels unclear.
Could you let me know exactly what type of map customization you’re trying to achieve in Deneb (for example: custom shapes, layered maps, conditional colors, tooltips, or something else)?

Hi @StidifordN ,

I heard Deneb has options to customize the map.

Below is the repository link:

I have the same problem, also tried the ArcGis map but the Standerd map only provides one location option. 

Seems to me than a solution could be using R or python to create a custom visual for this, will let you know if i endup getting a solution.
