Geo Data Shapes Map

Hi,

I was trying to achive a GeoShape as shown in this tutorial.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV6y1pX0-hg

 

The .json file is from here.

https://github.com/isellsoap/deutschlandGeoJSON

 

I was using the 4_kreise. I get the wgs84 CRS but nevermind I doesn't show me any map in PowerBi, just blank. Does anything else been done to get it shown?

 

 Thanks for any reply.

 

Kind regards

Sam

    The shape map needs TopoJSON, not GeoJSON.  use Mapshaper to convert as needed. Make sure to use field names that match map keys.

      Great thanks a lot that works fabulous. Another question:

      Do you know a .pbf or .poi file-converter who can last up to 3 GB?

        why would you need a converter?  Isn't it just a list of lat/lon and some meta data? You should be able to consume that as a flat list/CSV directly.
