Power BI maps without latitude and longitude

[Anonymous]

Hi Experts,

I have just started working with Maps in Power BI. I don't have any Latitude and Longitude data in my dataset. 

Only have location information about State, Suburb, Post code.

We are interested to built in the drill down functionality for location State-->Suberb and have the zoom in/out functionality in the map.

Can you please suggest which map visual will be suitable for our requirement.

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ,

The default map visual can do this. Please see the .gif.

@Anonymous , You can put those in location. Long/lat is not compulsory

Thanks @amitchandak  for quick reply.

I have tried shape maps, but there are two limitations with this

1. Does not provide drill down location functionality

2. Can't Zoom in/out
