Globe Map - increase resolution
Cheers to all who helped with this one. I ended up going with just the basic map as it showed the details I need for now. Hopefully an update soon will allow further manipulation of the way it is presented in PowerBI.
One remaining issue (which I would have thought impossible) is that I have events occuring in exactly the same point even with GPS coordinates down to the second! PowerBI then joins the two events and increases the dot size (and adds the value) annoying but something I guess I can live with for now.
Great help and advise on the forums again though :smileyvery-happy:
EDBit late to the party I guess, but NZ is not a region of the world understoof by Bing. I have had lots of success heatmapping down to property size for NZ, but this has all been based on specialist polygons in other tools. I have had some luck bringing in shapes in my queries but it seems to slow down performance more than it should. Your last attempt is the best you will get out of the current powerbi suite. Bring in post code and you get mapping points all over the world, your lat/lng is the best you will get at the mo.
elliotdixon apparently this visual is not perfected yet - if you read the comments at this link

I couldn't get the HEAT MAP to look any better
