      Hi

       

      Hopefully this will help: Icon Map Sample

       

      It doesn't have the metro example in there - I need to dig that out. But it's based on a similar structure as the flight one. 

       

      Cheers

        Great APP, I must say! I love it and am using it for my daily analysis. Thanks!

         

        Is it possible to add in the "Tooltip" function like the POWERBI original map visual? So I can add in as many details as I want. For now the Icon map only has two possible details for Tooltip.

         

        And for the label size and the size of the icon, I am having thousands of icons on the global map. It looks great when I zoom in for details. But when I zoom out on the global level, it is quite messy because the words and icons are overlapping. Is it possible to add an option, when zoomed out at a certain level, do not show any Labels and shrink the size of the icon.

         

        And when zoomed out at the global level, the map is continous by copying itself like a long scroll but the data points are only showed on one "globe". Is it possible to expand the data to the whole map?

         

        again, thanks for the great work!
