Hello @DataWiz01,
ArcGIS for Power BI is a mapping visualization that helps you to enrich your data, reports, and dashboards. It offers mapping capabilities, demographic data, location analytics, and spatial analysis tools that you can use to demonstrate patterns in and add insight to your data. You can create and view ArcGIS map visualizations in the Power BI service or Power BI Desktop.
With ArcGIS for Power BI's robust mapping capabilities, you can use smart-map themes to predict the best way to illustrate your data, highlight areas in your report and use local demographics to add relevant regional context, and refine the symbology you use to improve your report's overall clarity.
Combining authoritative data layers on a map with spatial analysis helps you explore the complexities behind your Power BI data.
ArcGIS for Power BI is provided by Esri. Your use of ArcGIS for Power BI is subject to Esri's terms and privacy policy. Power BI users who use the ArcGIS for Power BI visualization must accept the terms on the consent dialog. This dialog appears only the first time you use ArcGIS for Power BI.
ArcGIS map formatting options include:
1. Layers: Change the Title of the Layers list, specify if the Layers list (Show layers) button is visible in the expanded Map tools, define the position of the Layers list, and anchor the list over the map. The Layers list is visible by default.
2. Map tools: Specify if the Zoom tools (navigation buttons) are visible on the map, specify if the Basemaps button is visible in the expanded Map tools, lock the map extent in its current position, and define the position of the infographics cards on the map. Zoom tools and the Basemaps button aren't visible by default.
3. Location type: Specify the country or region in which your data is located to improve the accuracy of locations on your map. If your data is in a single country or region, choose that country or region from the drop-down list. If your data is global, choose World.
4. Search: Specify if the Search button is visible in the expanded Map tools. Search is visible by default.
1. Select to expand the Map tools , if necessary, and then select Basemap to display the gallery of available basemaps.

Let me know if you may need further assistance or if there is something specific you wish to achieve with ArcGIS.
Add a reference layer
When you use Power BI data to create an ArcGIS for Power BI map visualization, you're creating a data layer. You can then add reference layers that provide context to your data. For example, if your data layer shows the location of fast-food restaurants, you can add a reference layer showing the proximity of nearby schools, the consumer spending habits of the community, or the age demographic of the surrounding neighborhood.
Reference layers can consist of regional demographic data, such as income, age, and educational attainment; they can also include publicly shared feature layers available from ArcGIS Online that provide various types of information about areas surrounding the locations on your map. Reference layers maximize your data to provide a bigger picture.
After you add a reference layer to a map, you can create a join between the reference layer and Power BI data attributes to gain more insight into your data.
Analyze your data
ArcGIS for Power BI provides tools to help you discover patterns in your data and tell a compelling story with a map. Analysis features include the following features:
Show map layers
In ArcGIS for Power BI, you work with geographic data through layers. Layers contain logical collections of geographic data that are used to create maps. They're also the basis for geographic analysis.
To display the Layers list, select (the menu icon) to expand the Map tools, if necessary, and select Layers
The Layers list displays your data as a layer added to the basemap. You can configure the layer’s dynamic options to customize how the data in your layer is displayed.
Different options appear in the menu depending on the type of data in your selected layer. For example, you can change the Symbology and Location type settings for a layer created using Power BI data, like the City layer you created for this tutorial, but those options aren't available for reference or drive-time layers.
1. Select to expand the Map tools , if necessary, and then select Basemap to display the gallery of available basemaps.
How to change the basemap
A basemap provides a background, or visual context, for the data in a map. For example, a basemap showing streets can provide context for your address data. The Standard account provides four base maps: Dark Gray Canvas, Light Gray Canvas, OpenStreetMap, and Streets.
To change the basemap, follow these steps:
3. Location type: Specify the country or region in which your data is located to improve the accuracy of locations on your map. If your data is in a single country or region, choose that country or region from the drop-down list. If your data is global, choose World.
4. Search: Specify if the Search button is visible in the expanded Map tools. Search is visible by default.

As a report designer, you can share an ArcGIS for Power BI map with a colleague who can view and interact with the map. Your colleague cannot save changes to your map. Further, you currently cannot create an ArcGIS for Power BI map on a mobile device, but you can view and interact with it.
