The ability to display and create Filled Maps (choropleth) using the native SQL Server geometry/geography data types is a must to allow for meaningful geospatial visualization. e.g. Visualize crimes...
Such a shame Microsoft is faaaaaaaaar behind their competitors in reporting based on maps! What good is that I can store spatial data in SQL Server database if I cannot visualize it properly in a Power BI? This is so often a requirement! To give some business example: a report for property investors showing a circle with a given radius (in meters, individual for each point) supporting decisions if the area is attractive for investments. Drawing spatials on map is not the only required feature. Search capabilities, free hand selection and information about missing points (not recognized points) are MUST HAVE features too. Please, Power BI Team, give us a chance to compete with other BI leaders whenever maps are a part of report!
