Custom geospatial visual

Hi,

 

Where can I find documentation or samples to build a custom geospatial visual? I have seen the existing tutorial and examples but I don't see documentation on maps, geographical features.

 

Any help will be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Alexis

Hi @alexisc67,

 

We don't have any documentation about building geospatial custom visual.

Please look for third party libraries such as D3 that implement this visualization.

After that you would be able to integrate the library into Power BI by creating a new custom visual.

Hi,

 

Thanks. I am looking at D3 libraries. I am also looking at Bing V8 API. Would that be a viable path as well?
