Generating Lat/Lon Points on Map
To draw a box on a map visual in Power BI and have the latitude and longitude points show up as tooltips on the corners, you can use the built-in "Area" selection tool in Power BI. Here's how to do this:
Open your Power BI report and select the map visual that you want to use.
In the Visualizations pane, click the "Area" selection tool. This will allow you to draw a box on the map.
Click and drag on the map to draw a box around the area you want to highlight.
Once the box is drawn, you should see the latitude and longitude points for the corners of the box in the tooltips.
You can customize the appearance of the box and the tooltips by using the formatting options in the Visualizations pane.
Cheers!
