Session Abstract –

Ever wanted to create a really effective map in Power BI but can’t achieve what you need with the out of the box visuals?

In this session we’ll explore how to create maps with lines, images and shapes and choropleth layers.
Exploring the latest features of the out of the box options, as well as custom visuals, we’ll look at the limitations of maps in Power BI and techniques to work around them.
