The MapViewer Visual from GeoAI brings the power of a highly-configurable map to your Microsoft PowerBI report. This feature-rich Visual enables you to show locations in your report from Longitude and Latitude fields in your data table. Choose from a range of basemaps to provide context to your data. Additionally, Web Mapping Service (WMS) layers can be added to enrich your map with extra information. You can create a library of your favourite WMS endpoints and your layers together with their styling and the map extent are saved within the report.
🪛 The MapViewer Visual is in active development and often updated with tweaks and bug fixes. 🔨
