Hi @Chanleakna123 ,

 

Based on my reasearch, we can use the ArcGIS Map visual to draw a radis of a selected point, you can refer to the following post.

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Map-with-Range-of-distance/td-p/567281

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Plot-or-Show-50-mile-radius-from-any-given-postcode-Zip-Cod...

 

Or we can follow this article to get distance between selected point and point in map.


If there is not what you want, you could create your own custom visual if is an experienced web developer.

@v-lid-msft  hi , 

 

i found Icon flow map and flow map is the best , 

*Icon Flow Map : I have no idea how to put Icon in the field of this map . is it the link or text ? can you show me the sample of how to use it , i have google through youtube and BI support , i can't find the answer. 

*Flow Map , I also have no idea how to use it , what that is hard the most from my side is i don't get the right things to put on the template to use in each visualization. 

 

Is it possible that you can show me the sample ? then i can use your sample to follow. 

your support is much appreciated.
