Is there a way of filling a slicer with the lat/lng of a point on a map if you click on the map?

I have this map which displays the running of a journey on a standard map on PowerBI. I want to be able to click on a point and fill in the Lat/Lng Slicers.

 

So I would click on one point and it will fill in the beginning of the slicer and then click on another and it will fill the end of the slicer.

I dont mind if this is done just for Latitude.

Is there a way of doing this, or is there a good alternative than this. At the moment I am using the tooltip to find the lat/lng and manually filling in the slicers.

 

Thanks

@Anonymous , You can use a measure from the fact or the table and check that is not null.

 

A very similar approach  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyOquvfhzNM

Hi

 

Thanks for your reply. I have 1000's of latitudes combinations so I cannot display this in a table. How would you recommend I approach this. The user wants to select a start and end point on a map and then filter the map to just this range of points.

 

Is this possible?
