Replacement for Bling Map

[Feba]

Hi,
I use Bling Maps in PBI for routing details. The visual is set to retire by June 2025. Is there any replacement.
Features required:
1. Routing: Source and Destination

2. World Map

3. Size of the routes to be based on another measure (no of trucks).

4. Tooltips for Source and Destination.

Thanks in advance!

I think the only reliable path after Bing Map retires is Azure Maps… and if u need measure‑scaled route lines, Route Map is the one free visual that still behaves—set Origin/Dest, drop ur measure on width; if it still stutters, trim rows or pre‑agg the routes.

Hi @Feba 

Since Bling Map is retiring, the best free replacement for routing visuals in Power BI is the Route Map custom visual from AppSource.

It supports everything you need:

• Routes from Source → Destination
• Line thickness based on a measure (like number of trucks)
• World map
• Tooltips for source and destination

Other options:

• Azure Maps (built-in, free) – works for points but cannot create flow/route lines with variable thickness
• Icon Map Pro – powerful but paid, not free

So for a fully free solution that replicates Bling Map’s routing features, Route Map with OpenStreetMap is your go-to visual
