MapTale

MapTale puts your projects, assets or any located data on a map inside Power BI, as one visual that does the job of a whole page. Pick a map style first - Project markers: every row is a marker, with an icon from your Category column and a colour from your Status column. Popups with photos, clustering for dense areas. - Markers on areas: your own boundaries (suburbs, wards, regions) under the markers. Click an area to filter the page, zoom to it and see its totals. - Shaded areas: a choropleth coloured by a count, a total or a number stored in the shapes, with a legend. - Compare two areas: click area A, then area B, and compare them side by side, including an age pyramid when your shapes carry age bands. - Grid map: equal squares coloured by the data inside them, resizing as you zoom. Hide squares with too few rows to protect privacy. - Heat map: where things are densest, fading into individual markers as you zoom in. Auto picks the style from the fields you bind. Also in the visual - An in-map header with a logo, title, dropdown slicers (search, multi-select, Select all) and a search box, so a public-facing report can be a single visual. - A side panel for the clicked marker or area, a legend that reads from your data, category buttons on the map. - Upload GeoJSON boundaries into the report, or link to a URL. - A light greyscale basemap that fades to aerial imagery with 3D buildings as you zoom in. What it does not need - No map account, API key or usage-based fees. The basemap and imagery are free services with attribution shown on the map. - No per-user licensing. One one-off price per organisation, with a key entered in the Format pane. Publish the report to as many people as you like, including publish to web. Set-up takes a few minutes: add the visual from AppSource, drop your columns into the wells, pick a map style, paste your licence key. A sample report with all six map styles is included. External services: this visual loads map tiles from OpenFreeMap and aerial imagery from Esri, fonts from Google Fonts when a non-system font is chosen, and any photo, icon or boundary URLs you configure. It checks a small licence status file on datatale.com.au. Your report data is never sent to DataTale. Without a key the visual works fully but shows a watermark, so you can evaluate it first.
