Be able to choose a basemap in addition to custom shape map in the new shape map visualization

[cwwong_alec]

I have selected a custom shape map in the Shape Map visual in PowerBI -- it would be great if I can put on a world map in addition to the custom shape map.

I'd like to be able to choose a base map layer, and overlay a Shape Map on top of it, with the base map appearing through gaps in the shapes on the shape map

The Shapemap visual is a powerful addition to PBI, but the lack of basemap still means I need to request mapping from our GIS department to show the basemap, which is essential for some of the small area geographies we use (Output Areas)

I think this is duplicate of https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/16604770-shape-map-allow-to-overlay-bing-map

This would be a great addition, particularly if transparency levels could be added to the options.

This is a necessary feature for agricultural companies. Many of which just select Qlik instead of Power BI because of that basemap functionality. Hope to see this in nearest updates

We'd love to do this too, note that this idea has been raised here as well: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/16604770-shape-map-allow-to-overlay-bing-map

I am also looking for this, I have a shapemap data for flood areas, municipal areas, etc that I need to overlay onto a base map.

otherwise its useless.

It would be extremaly useful for our city if it worked, it would hel a lot to understand the visual
