The ability to display and create Filled Maps (choropleth) using the native SQL Server geometry/geography data types is a must to allow for meaningful geospatial visualization. e.g. Visualize crimes by police beat.

RE: Support SQL Server Geometry/Geography data types in Power BI
Spatial data support other than just X/Y is absolutely necessary and growing in importance to organizations.
RE: Support SQL Server Geometry/Geography data types in Power BI
Yes, we need to shows Geography Polygons filled with geography points or at least showing counts inside these polygons
RE: Support SQL Server Geometry/Geography data types in Power BI
Yes, We are waiting for spatial type support, please
RE: Support SQL Server Geometry/Geography data types in Power BI
This would certainly be the ideal way to be able to do custom mapping areas for our business which has lots of spacial data.
RE: Support SQL Server Geometry/Geography data types in Power BI
Please do not forget the Oracle spatial datatype as well.
RE: Support SQL Server Geometry/Geography data types in Power BI
Yes, including to colour a group of countries, like Europe, North America, etc.
RE: Support SQL Server Geometry/Geography data types in Power BI
Spatial data is very important to my organisation and to visualise geometries in PowerBI would be awesome for our users.
RE: Support SQL Server Geometry/Geography data types in Power BI
Agree, there is no way to visualize the data by the geography/boundaries that define our business. We need to be able to add boundary shapes to the map whether that is by SQL Server geometry data types, GeoJSON, or shapefiles doesn't matter.
RE: Support SQL Server Geometry/Geography data types in Power BI
The mapping is not powerful at the moment and needs this sort of feature.
