Google Maps for Power BI Microsoft Licensing

Google Maps for Power BI by Dynamica Labs is a custom Power BI map visual that brings the full Google Maps experience into your reports - with marker clustering, category colors, heatmap layer, Street View, 3D View, address and Google Places search, plus polygon, circle, and radius filtering. Use it for territory mapping, sales territory analysis, retail catchment, logistics and field service planning, real estate mapping, and risk and exposure mapping inside Power BI

What you can do:

• Sales territory analysis: spot uncovered territories, click a zone, and cross-filter the rest of the report.
• Retail and store mapping: map every store, draw a radius to define a catchment area, and search nearby places with Google Places.
• Logistics and field service planning: cluster dispatches by region and filter the report to a single service area with a polygon.
• Real estate mapping: pin listings on a Google Maps base layer, use Street View for neighborhood context, and filter by radius after an address search.
• Insurance and risk mapping: visualize exposure with the heatmap layer and filter by polygon, radius, or GeoJSON zone.

Core features:

• Visualization: markers, marker clustering, category colors, heatmap layer.
• Analysis: polygon filtering, circle filtering, and radius filtering; custom GeoJSON layers; legend filtering.
