I have been trying to utilise the data-bound reference layer for Azure Maps after the October 2024 update. However, loading some GeoJSON or zipped shapefiles into the reference layer causes Azure maps to throw several identical errors whenever the map is interacted with (moved, zoomed etc.).
This is general process I used to obtain the GeoJSON file.
1. Visit the Australian Bureau of Statistics and download the SA4 shapefile zip.
2. Upload the entire zipped file to mapshaper.org, type proj wgs84 in the console (as suggested by this post), and simplify the map to 1%, and then download as a GeoJSON format.
3. Upload this new file to geojson.io to verify it looks correct, and re-download as a GeoJSON file.
4. Use the "File Upload" option to upload this file into Power BI Desktop.
The specific file I am trying to use can be found here. When I do this last step, Power BI throws a bunch of errors.
Once these errors are closed, the map does load, however adding a table column to the location field, and trying to conditionally format the polygons on the map does not work.
Opening the detailed error message gives this pop-up message:
Any help would be much appreciated.
