Maps
by relevantVisuals
Discover the ultimate interactive map visual that combines point, shape, and flow mapping.
Maps – Your Geospatial Power BI Visual
Explore your data with Maps, the intelligent and versatile visual for geospatial analytics in Power BI.
New Highlights
- Custom map upload (GeoJSON & TopoJSON): Bring your own shapes, regions, and boundaries into Power BI with full formatting support.
- True mini‑charts on the map: Create Column, Line, Pie, Donut, or Packed Bubble charts directly on points, routes, or shapes using categories as axes or legends.
- Moving Dashlines for flows and routes: Animate directional flows with smooth, configurable dashline motion to highlight movement, intensity, or direction.
Key Features
- Flexible visualization: Choropleth maps, markers, routes, bubble charts, image markers, chart‑enhanced routes, and animated moving dashlines.
- Image markers and image charts: Display images as fixed‑size markers or as scalable mini‑charts where the image size is proportional to a measure.
- Rich interactivity: Pan, zoom, rotate, drill, auto‑centering, and full selection support.
- Extensive map library: 200+ offline maps and multiple projections including Mercator, Equal Earth, NaturalEarth 1/2, and Robinson.
- Smart formatting: Category‑based colors, linear/diverging/log scales, multi‑field labels, and customizable drill paths.
- Data transparency: Mapping metadata to validate and prepare your data model.
Why use Maps instead of built‑in Azure Maps?
Maps gives you full offline rendering, multi‑layer visualization, non‑geographical layouts, and rich category‑specific formatting — capabilities Azure Maps doesn’t support. It also avoids tile‑service dependencies, making it faster, more flexible, and fully customizable inside Power BI.
Why choose Maps instead of built‑in Filled/Shape Map?
Maps supports custom shapes, multi‑line labels, measure‑driven icons, advanced styling, and true multi‑layer mapping, far beyond the static polygons of Shape Map. It lets you build interactive, data‑rich layouts that Shape Map simply cannot express.
