Power BI Map Functionality

Hi Team,
We have requriment where client want to see the comparision of data points avaliable on the map with respective to the two different timestamp and the region user is selecting.
Consider we have a two map with two date slicer, first slicer affects the first map and second slicer affects the second map. User will select  a location on the map irrespective of data point available or not on the map and radius. once the location is selected in the map and raduis, the data point should show up which are available within the ocation and the radius selected. The location selected in the first map should also be selected in second automatically as soon as user select it in 1st map, same location in both the map should be selected.

Currently we are using ArcGIS map to achieve the above senario. We are using the map tools  ''select the location in your layer" to select a region on the map. But we are facing issues with it: 1. When user is seletion a location using a square selection both the maps are not zooming at the same level. 2. if in first map we draw a selection for a particular area where a data points instance are avialable which is not available in the second map for the respective timestamp on both the map, the map is filtering with respect to the data points not with respective to the region we select. 
Example : I select a region in first map which as a data point A, B , C but in second for same selected region D,E,F is present.

map is filtering and showing do data in the second map as second map does not have A,B,C instances. But ideally it should filter with respective to the region and should show D,E,F data point of the selected region selected in the first map.

Hi @Bhagyashrig ,

 

When using ArcGIS maps in Power BI, each map's zoom level and center point are determined based on the data points it contains and the viewport settings. To synchronize the zoom levels and center points across two maps, you would need to ensure that both maps are set to display the same geographical area explicitly.

This is my test data.

Then we can append the two tables, leaving only the Location column, and right-click to remove the duplicate values.

Then we can create model relationships.

Then we place the location field of the Append table on the Map 1 visual and the Map 2 visual.

Then we use the location field of the [Append] table as a slicer, so we can filter both maps at the same time.
