Map With custom Layer (free option)

Hello,

is there any free option to combine map location (my city) with a custom layer?

 

Thanks for your help

Hey,

 

you can try the Shape Map visual (you have to enable in the Preview Features) and you can also use the Map Box visual. You can create a free Mapbox account and create a tileset that can be used in Power BI (https://docs.mapbox.com/help/tutorials/power-bi-choropleth-map/). Please be aware that you shape needs to be public if you want no extra costs.

 

Regards,

Tom
