I want to built an interactive map that displays 2 types of data:
- Polygons - I have 4 layers of custom Reference layers (shapefiles)
- Points - Lat/Long data
Additional information:
- Need to have drill-down capability into each layer
- Can get a license for ArcGIS or any other tool if that solves the problem.
I have come up with 3 solutions on how to do this with Power BI but all of them seem to run into some problems. Maybe I am missing something.
Power BI Map out-of-the-box.
- allows to combine Reference layers (shapefiles) with Points data
- does not allow to use multiple layers of Custom Reference layers (shapefiles)
ArcGIS + Power BI.
- allows to combine Reference layers (shapefiles) with Points data
- allows to use multiple layers of Custom Reference layers (shapefiles)
- does not allow to keep your custom Reference layers (shapefiles) private. You have to upload your shapefiles first o ArcGIS Online and then "Share" them with "Public" to be able to import them into Power BI. Which is not possible at this time.
Mapbox + Power BI
- allows to use multiple layers of custom Reference layers (shapefiles/tiles) AND keep them private.
- does not allow to combine choropleth map with multiple layers of custom shapefiles/tiles with Points (lat/long) data on a same visualization.
Appreciate any thoughts on this. Thanks!
