Is Azure Map allowing pie charts or only bubbles?

I love Azure maps but I need pie charts insted of single colored bubbles. Is this possible?

Hi,

 

This was frustrating for me. I prefer Azure map in PowerBI as it seem to have some more configurations. 

Additionally, i like the design of fully colored pie charts, as opposed to those which show up with slight opacity in the built in MS Map. 

 

I found out however, that the pie charts in Azure, only work with "City" and "Country". It will not work with latitude longitude coordinates. I have many assets with the same latitude/longitude, but it appears that they are overstacked bubbles in Azure. This must be a defect, because it is working well in the other MS map. 

 

Azure Map unfortunately also seem to have some serious bugs. It crashed my computer entirely once when zooming in. Also, sometimes bubbles dissappear from the report. 

 

Enclose two pictures to demonstrate this. 

MS Map, where pie charts are working, but without possibility to change opacity (very frustrating).

Azure Map, which is unable to provide pie charts, even if position is the same. It however does not add opacity, and therefore looks better.

I'd also like to have zoom aggregations, when zooming out. But this seem not available as well, so I use a third-party app named "zoomcharts". However this map does not provide any good satellite imaging. Only vector based openstreetmap. 

 

Why is there not ONE map tool that can do the job entirely? Azure map???

If any product manager at Microsoft could look into this, please.

 

 

 

Is there anyone who can provide an answer to this? 

Why do bubble charts in Azure map only work with "city" and not "latitude/longitude"?

Hi @Krcmajster 

 

Currently it doesn't support pie charts on Azure Map. Besides bubble layer, there are four other types of layer. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/power-bi-visual-understanding-layers

I saw it as well, but this is a web app. I am looking at Azure Map https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/power-bi-visual-getting-started
