Map: ICAO/IATA airport codes

 

 

the above images for reference.  when referring ICAO airport codes to the map, VOGO and VTUI appear to be located in africa, but the real locations are India and Thailand respectively.  any way to fix these ourselves?  thanks!

    Hi amirulmanaf,

     

    I already reported this issue: CRI 29211763. Will keep you updated once I get any feedback.

    Bing maps doesn't officially support ICAO/IATA airport codes, so we can't display them on Power BI Maps. We would need them to support them before we could do anything. The best way to work around this is for the customer to add latitude longitude data for each airport that Bing is misplacing.

  • Using a reference table from "Global Airport Database" that has the ICAO/IATA codes and the Lat/Lon data did not seem to help accuracy of location display to maps in Power BI.   Can you use a text string in front of airport code to direct the Bing map search engine to improve accuracy?

     

    Thanks,
