Map within a Radius

I work for a large Mortgage lender.  We want to be able to type in an address and show all of our properties within a specified radius (1 mile, 5 miles, 25 miles, etc).  Is there a way to do this in Power BI?    I can approximate this functionality with slicers based on geo fields, but that's limited to internal data sources.

 

I already added an idea, but detailed mapping features don't seem to be getting much traction there:  https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/18604129-search-a-map

Hi @jmymlr

 

I think I might have an approach but if you can send some sample data I can see if I can knock something up.

 

Do you have LAT/LNG for all your addresses?

It'll take me a couple days to get permission to even send masked data, but I should be able to put something together.  In the meantime, what are you thinking as a solution?  Custom visual or some combination of existing functionality?

 

Yes, we have LAT/LNG for all our addresses.

@jmymlr,

 

Based on my research, there is no such a option on Map visual in current version of Power BI.  If you have full exprience on coding, you could develop a custom visual based on your own requirement.
