Power BI Geolocation of mobile cell phone of user

I am looking to create a Power BI report that our team can use on their mobile device to see what accounts are closest.
I need the Power BI report on the app to see the user's phone location on a map and show them what accounts are within 1 mile of them.
Is this possible?
How do I set up where it uses the phone's location. I have a list of all accounts, addresses, City, State, Zip, Lat, Long. We have accounts in huge cities like Chicago/New York, so I need them to see what accounts are closest by the mile, so .2miles, .5miles, etc.
I watched this video, but I am not looking for a team member to be assigned to the account; I want anyone in the company to use this app.

Hi @mcornfield 

 

This is not supported currently. You may try below method to filter a report by geographic location.

@mcornfield : Use PowerApps embedded into Power BI report.  PowerApps can access device GPS location.
