Hi All,
I have several problems with map visuals in Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service:
- After several months of working with Power BI Desktop (I guess it's a matter of caching or/and upgrades) Filled Map displays only some part of voivodeships in Poland properly. Re-installation of Power BI Desktop and deleting cache folder help here, but it's annoying one (business user getting into %appdata% and deleting cache - can you imagine this scenario in production?).
- ESRI ArcGIS Map displays two voivodeships (pomorskie and kujawsko-pomorskie) in the same boundaries. Both in Power BI Desktop and the service.
- Using a full notation (e.g. "province, country") makes things worse - none of voivodeships is displayed on Filled Map and Map visuals. I don't get it - if Filled Map and Map are based on Bing Maps, then I would expect the interpreation of location data in those visuals will be the same as I get in maps.bing.com portal. But it's not somehow... Not to mention that for states/provinces/voivodeships it's more natural to use boundary map than bubbles to visualize data.
A repro .pbix file can be downloaded here: http://blog.sqlgeek.pl/Download/Voiviodeships in Poland.pbix. And you can see the report here.
Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. And yes, I know there are workarounds with Shape Map, R and Synoptic Panel, but none of them is good for business users.
Cheers,
Pawel Potasinski
