Network on Map

Hello everybody!

 

I need to draw a network on a map in PowerBI, meaning that I have to draw nodes geolocalized on a map and edges between them. The dataset is pretty large, containing a few thousands of nodes and edges.

I have tried to use Flow Map but, every time I try to apply a filter on it, PowerBI just crashes. Is there some other way to do this?

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi folks,

 

Any answers to the initial questions?

None of the links provided above do answer it: the need is to depict a graph network, the nodes of which are geolocated on a map. In my case, I would like to draw nodes on countries (or even better based on Lat/Long) that represents Servers geographical locations, and links between those who are network connected in the company...

 

Thanks in advance for your lights!

Hi!

 

Thanks for your answer, but that is not quite what I'm looking for.

I already got a visualization of the network using Network Navigator, but what I need now is to visualize the network on a map with nodes assigned to locations through latitude and longitude.

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

I'd like to suggest you refer the following links.
