Mapping in Malaysia

I am trying to map the distance between the locations of prospects and dealers/outlets.

 

For prospects, I have columns relating to partial address, postcode and state in a dataset. No gps though.

 

How do I generate their location in Power bi using these data?

Hi, @flintstone 

 

You can use google maps , enter the postcode to get the latitude and longitude of the member's approximate location. Another method: Google Maps API V3: Get Location (Latitude and Longitude) from Zip Code (Pin Code) using JavaScript ...

Although this may be a bit cumbersome, it may not be recognized without a specific location.
