Google maps link working in Desktop but not in the web

[Etai-Fiedelman]

Hi everyone,

I used the formula in the following link (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Open-Google-Maps-with-lat-long-link-in-BI-mobile/m-p/679978... to create a google map link with Latitude and Longitude in Power BI desktop.

It works great there but in the after I publish it the link does not work anymore and I get a message the google is blocked....

Does anyone have an idea why it works in desktop bot not online?

Thanks,

Etai

Hi @Etai-Fiedelman ,

The issue may be related to the security of Power BI for Web, as security restrictions in Power BI Web may prohibit cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Therefore, if a Google Maps link contains untrusted code or scripts, it may be blocked by the Power BI web.
Please try:
1. Make sure that Google Maps links do not contain any malicious or untrusted code or scripts. If you're not sure if the link is safe, consider using a different mapping service or contacting Google Maps support for assistance.

2. Try using other types of map visualizers, such as Bing Maps or Mapbox, in Power BI for the web to avoid possible security restrictions.

3.Try using the Power BI Embedded API to embed your Power BI reports and dashboards into custom web applications.
