Hi @BIswajit_Das ,

 

Thanks for your follow-up! Here's a quick summary addressing your questions:

 

Q1: Custom Street Colors

Azure Maps doesn't currently allow custom colors for streets (like turning roads blue). The map style (e.g., "Road", "Night", etc.) controls the overall look, but individual street color formatting isn't supported.

Q2: Filtering Specific Street Areas

Yes, to zoom in or focus on specific streets when applying filters, having latitude and longitude data is highly recommended. It ensures accurate map rendering and dynamic interaction.

Q3: Visualizing Roads for a Single State

You don’t need detailed road coordinates for the whole state. If your data already has lat/long for locations of interest, Azure Maps will handle the visualization. If you only have street names, you may need to enrich your data using a geocoding service.

 

Also, here are a few threads that may help with similar scenarios:

Solved: Power BI Map--Streetside/Street View - Microsoft Fabric Community

Solved: Google Maps Street View - Microsoft Fabric Community

 

You can also try the Google Maps for Power BI visual by Dynamica Labs LTD from AppSource.

Note: Please make sure to verify and review any custom visual from AppSource before importing it, especially for compatibility and licensing.

Hi @BIswajit_Das ,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

 

You can achieve this by using the Azure Map visual available in the latest version of Power BI. In the Map settings, just set the Style option to "Road" based on your requirement and also you can enter focus mode for better visibility.

Hello @Anonymous 
Thanks for your response
Q1 :
In this visual can I apply color formatting like the above attached map image (where street are blue in color)
Q2 :
When I filter a street it should be only visualize that area (do I need long & lat data fields for that ??).
Q3 :
This visual is for a single state so do I need that specific road co-ordinates for the visualization.

Thanks & Regards...
