Map Search?

Hi there,   I created a map with serval stores in the Power BI Desktop. Is there a way to search for any city on the map to find the closest store more easily?   Thanks Ulrich

    Power BI desktop is basically a reporting tool. It's not a map tool even it has map visual. It doesn't support to get/input your current location and calculate where the closest "stores" locates.

    Thanks for your answer.

     

    I use a workaround for now where I write the city name into an excel-file which is part of the model and refresh the data. But you are right: Power BI is not the right tool for what I am looking for.
