What is the Power Map?

Power BI is a business intelligence and Analytics tool for non-technical and technical users to manage, analyze, visualize and share data with others.

One of its key features is visualization - that is, presenting data and insights using appealing visuals. Among the visuals available in power BI are maps.

Power BI maps are integrated with “Bing Maps” to coordinate with location names from the data. So, we can create two kinds of map visuals in Power BI. One is a “Bubble Maps,” and another is a “Filled Maps.” Bing recognizes the location name, address, or any geographical attribute and plots the selected data on the map.

Things to Remember

• The map visual requires the exact location name to identify the location on the map.
• The size should always be the numerical data set to show the bubble size.
• We can increase, decrease the bubble size and change each bubble’s colors to a different color.
