I draw a shape map using QGIS. By default it is using EPSG:4326
After export it to geojson, I import to https://mapshaper.org/. The shape map is still showing correctly.
Then I export it to topojson file and import to Power BI Shape map visual. Then my map become upside down.
I searched some old discussion saying Power BI is using EPSG:4326. Could you please advise what should I do to fix it?
Hi @Azure_newbie ,
Please refer to this blog to see if the solution helps.
In QGIS, make sure your project and layers are using the EPSG:4326 coordinate system. -->
--> When exporting to geojson, ensure that the coordinate system is set to EPSG:4326.
--> Import the geojson file into mapshaper.org and verify that the map is displayed correctly.
--> Export the file as topojson from mapshaper.org.
--> Import the topojson file into Power BI Shape map visual and check if the map is displayed correctly.
