Hey!
How do I make a GeoJSON layer in Azrure Maps dynamic? My GeoJSON file will be constantly updated, and I am looking for a way to make the map refresh without having to change the base file. Can I do it by having the data in Power Query? So everytime I refresh the data the maps get updated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @guilevcovitz ,
Reference layers are based on a single flat file that are uploaded into the visual and does not connect to an external data set similar to the Shape map visual. This is by design and done for security reasons.
Here is a reference that may be helpful.
