📄️ Circles
Icon Map Pro provides the ability to draw circles on the map.
📄️ Heat map
Icon Map Pro has the ability to create heat maps from point data.
📄️ H3 Hexagons
Icon Map Pro can render hexagons based on Uber's H3 indexing system on the map without having to provide the polygons.
📄️ Images / Icons
With Icon Map Pro, you can place images on the map. Images can be sized and rotated based on fields in your data.
📄️ Lines
Draw lines on the map between two sets of longitude and latitude coordinates.
📄️ WKT / GeoJSON from data
If you have a data source with geospatial data, such as SQL Server, PostgreSQL or Snowflake, then makes sense to load this data directly into your report via the Power BI semantic model. Icon Map Pro supports data in Well Known Text (WKT) and GeoJSON loaded from a field in your data.
📄️ GeoJSON / Shapefile / KML (from file)
Icon Map Pro has the ability to load shapes from files in GeoJSON, ESRI Shapefile and KML formats. These files can be hosted on an external URL and loaded at report view time, or uploaded into the visual and stored within the Power BI report file.
📄️ ESRI ArcGIS Feature Layers
It is possible to display up to five Esri ArcGIS feature layers as interactive data layers in Icon Map Pro. This will enable you to use standard Power BI tooltips, Report Page Tooltips, apply conditional formatting based on your Power BI data to each feature within the layer. You can cross-highlight and filter from other visuals, filter other visuals on your report by selecting a feature, and drill-through to other report pages.
📄️ Vector Tiles
Vector tiles provide a way of delivering large numbers of shapes on the map. As they are simplified for each level of zoom, they can provide precise coordinates at detailed levels of zoom. Vector tiles contain the geometry, but not information about how those shapes are styled, allowing you to apply formatting based on your Power BI data.
📄️ Combining multiple layers
Configuring Icon Map for multiple layers
📄️ Number of rows & performance
Most Power BI visuals support up to 30000 rows of data. However, with Icon Map Pro it is possible to exceed this limit.
📄️ Working with shapes from databases (WKT / GeoJSON)
Icon Map Pro provides the ability to display shapes that are stored, or referenced via the Power BI semantic model. These shapes are stored either as WKT (Well-known Text) or GeoJSON features. Many popular databases provide the ability to store shapes using the native 'Geography' or 'Geometry' data types, which are then surfaced in Power BI as WKT or geoJSON. Examples of databases providing this capability include, SQL Server, Azure SQL, Fabric SQL, Fabric Warehouse (stored in text fields), Oracle, KustoDB / Eventhouse (stored in text fields), PostgreSQL, Snowflake etc.
