Using JSON TOPO File to create a shape map

[DebbieE]

Ive been given JSON TOPO Files so I can create a shape map

I loaded them into Power BI as JSON files and used the following to understand how to do this https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/4621/using-power-bi-with-json-data-sources-and-files/ 

Which was incredibly helpful. 

So I now have the following table (Example)

Type                  arcs        ID    Location

MultiPolygon    8105       8     Yorkshire Dales

MultiPolygos    8106       8      Yorkshire Dales

So this joins to my data using the Location and ID. All I have is Arcs to use but I have no idea how to use it.

Also there are lots of arcs for my Location, but in my data I just have Location so I dont understand how this works

I cant find any information about this anywhere. Any help would be appreciated
