map visualization with filtering radius

[JonnyLangDBA]

Howdy,

I am trying to find out if it is possible to create a Power BI report with mapping functionality of which allows easy filtering along with radius outlines.

In my research, I have found that ArcGIS fulfils half of my requirements; eg: Fully interactive map with ability to add radius around a specified point (postcode or LatLong). The issue I'm having is that I cant seem to find a way to easily filter this map view to encircle a user specified point (from a standard Splicer). The steps to achieve this manually are:

1. Edit Report
2. Edit ArcGIS map
3. Open the "Drive Time" tab
4. Delete the already specified radial point
5. Select the new point
6. Change "Search Area" to "Radius"
7. Modify the distance required & "OK"
8. Click "Back to Report"

For me, and for any user utilising this report, this is too many steps.

I was thinking that maybe creating a Google Map API and embedding this into my Power BI report might possibly achieve this, but then again I don't even know if this would be much better than what I currently have.

Does anyone know of any other way that this can be done? Preferably with less than 8 steps?

Thanks,

Jonny

Hi @JonnyLangDBA,

Currently, only ArcGIS map visual supports the functionality that highlighting area with radius based on a specified point. Apart from this, there is no other possibility to achieve that with less than 8 steps.

Besides, it is not allowed to embed Google Map API into desktop. Someone has submitted a feature request here, you can click to vote it up.
