Alternative for Bing Maps

Hi,

I'm getting an info box saying Bing Maps will be deprecated for power bi desktop in november. The alternative are Azure Maps. However, I've read that these maps are not available for online version.

 

Which free alternative do we have for maps in PBI Service online? 

 

Thanks.

    Hi. Azure maps works perfectly. At least I have published reports with that and users are using those reports. There are custom visuals alternatives to maps if you want. It depends on the type of map, there is a great "heatmap" custom visual or for dots you can use "mapbox" (it has a lot of functionallity). You can also use a lot of esri arcgis visual for free.

    I hope that helps,
