Mapping

Hello,

 

I am wondering how to, or if it is even possible, to create a filled map based on USA counties and then put dots of individual locations on that map. Would a custom shape file be able to this or I am out of luck?

 

 

 

Thank you

Hi @ahines,

 

Could you try the ArcGIS maps in Power BI to see if it meets your requirements?Smiley Happy

Hello,

 

I am wondering how , or if it is possible, to create a filled map by USA counties and then being able to put dots on the same map, with the dots being inidividual locations. Would you be able to do this with a custom shape map?

Would ArcGIS maps allow me to create my own layer? I've got different values for each county that I want to make my own layer of and want to plot individual locations on that layer. Thanks for your response!

Hi @ahines,

 

Yes, you should be able to add your own ArcGIS Reference Layers for Power BI. Here a good article about how to do it for your reference.Smiley Happy
