Using OS base maps in PowerBI

[Anonymous]

Has anyone out there had any success using an OS base map in PowerBI?
Keen to understand if and how it may be done without an ArcGIS license?

Thanks Rico. I'm aware of that, was wondering if external base layers could be imported to create maps in PowerBI without having an ArcGIS license?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Power BI doesn't support you to create ArcGIS map without signing in. I think you can try Basic Map with data ( Location, Latitude, and Longitude). Map visual is based on Bing Map. Or you can try Shape map.

Hi @Anonymous ,

If you want to create ArcGIS map in Power BI Desktop, I think you need to sign in ArcGIS firstly.

Here is an offical blog you may refer to, I hope it could help you solve your problem.
