Support SQL Server Geometry/Geography data types in Power BI
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 by police beat.

- chris_klimm1New MemberAgree, there is no way to visualize the data by the geography/boundaries that define our business. We need to be able to add boundary shapes to the map whether that is by SQL Server geometry data types, GeoJSON, or shapefiles doesn't matter.
- Ed_SaundersNew MemberSpatial data is very important to my organisation and to visualise geometries in PowerBI would be awesome for our users.
- dcresp3New MemberThe mapping is not powerful at the moment and needs this sort of feature.
- kai_blauberg1New MemberPlease do not forget the Oracle spatial datatype as well.
- hola_handstromNew MemberYes, including to colour a group of countries, like Europe, North America, etc.
- dcresp1New MemberThis would certainly be the ideal way to be able to do custom mapping areas for our business which has lots of spacial data.
- hossein_narimanNew MemberYes, We are waiting for spatial type support, please
- htak1New MemberYes, we need to shows Geography Polygons filled with geography points or at least showing counts inside these polygons
- bigkampeNew MemberSpatial data support other than just X/Y is absolutely necessary and growing in importance to organizations.
- avron_dennisNew MemberSpatial Data especially for Oil and Gas industry mapping out Coal Basins - can't wait for this supported type
