Which visual for polylines and points

Hello FoolzRailer1,

You are absolutely right when rivers are placed in the Position layer, Azure Maps aggregates the latitude/longitude values, which is why the geometry collapses into single points.

This happens because Azure Maps treats the Position layer as point data unless you provide WKT geometry. By putting the river WKT directly into the Location (WKT) field, the full line geometry is preserved and remains interactive.

So in short:

• Reference Layer → correct river display, but static (no tooltips/filtering).

• Data Layer (WKT) → keeps rivers dynamic and interactive, avoiding the averaging issue.

That’s the tradeoff depending on whether you need static background context or interactive visuals.

we’re glad the issue is now resolved after you added the rivers as a reference layer.

Really appreciate the effort you put into testing different approaches and sharing the screenshots back here. it helps make the discussion clearer and useful for others who may face a similar scenario.

Best regards,
