Hi @rohitoc2

Hi @rohitoc2,
I have got a feedback that for security and privacy reasons, we currently don't support R packages that provide client-server queries over the World-Wide Web (such as RgoogleMaps) in the service. Networking is blocked for such attempts. So this scenario is not supported in Power BI service currently. ![]()

dang! must stick to powerBI maps I guess
Thanks for the reply though 🙂
