Hi @amirulmanaf,

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.

 

Best Regards,

Herbert

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,
