Hi! So I'm only aware of two map visuals in Power BI that can plot geographical datapoints (latitude and longitude for example): the default Power BI map visual and ArcGIS.
I want to able to set the bubble sizes to actual geographical distances, say X miles or X km, but it seems that I can only set the bubble size using a dimensionless parameter from like -50 to 100. Also, zooming in and out on the map effectively changes the size of the bubble.
Say I wanted to plot some locations on a map (each of which is denoted by a latitude/longitude), and that I wanted the radius of some of the bubbles to be some actual, geographical distance that is fixed regardless of zooming (so I can see what other 'points' fit within that bubble) - is there ANY way I could achieve this?
Thank you!
Ben
