Hi samye228 ,
Thank you lbendlin for the helphul insights!

Yes,as lbendlin suggested,  Shape Map needs a TopoJSON file, and using the right projection (WGS 84) is key to making your buildings show up correctly. To color seismic zones, make sure your TopoJSON has a property like "ZoneType" that you may link in Power BI. If you would like to show both zones and building locations together, Azure Maps is a better fit since it supports both polygons and lat/long points with more styling options.

Hope this resolve your query.If so,consider accepting it as solution.

Thank you.

Regards,
Pallavi.
