Map Layering

Hi, is there a way of combining location points with custom reference layers?

 

E.g.

 

- Can I upload my own reference layer to an ArcGIS map?

- Can I add a locations layer to a shape map?

 

Thanks.

To add your custom reference layers to ArcGIS, please refer to document: Add custom reference layers to ArcGIS.

 

In shape map, you can only add your custom map, see: Shape Maps in Power BI Desktop (Preview)

It's been 7 years, is it still the case that a map can't have both custom shape and point layers without getting an ArcGIS license?

Please all, I am new to this forum and to power bi. Is it possible to create reference lay on my map?

 

i have Lat Long of different locations and will like to use one as reference and the other as a layer to the reference. 

So that when I use slider or slicer I will still see the reference, while the other layer changes base on the condition I click on the slider.

Thank you.

 

Just to confirm then, there is no way of combining custom shape layers with location points without paying for a subscription with Esri to be able to publish hosted feature layers.

 

Is that correct?

 

 

@bullius

 

Correct. You have to have ArcGIS Online organizational account to publish hosted feature layer.
