Data-Bound Vector Tile Layers

(Available from version 1.0.5.0)

Vector tile layers are an effective way of displaying large numbers of complex polygons on the map.

As well as supporting data-bound ArcGIS feature layers, Icon Map Pro also supports vector tile layers hosted in ArcGIS. Up to five layers can be specified to be displayed simultaneously, or one at a time via Power BI's drill-down functionality. Tile layer URLs can be specified using Power BI's conditional formatting so an unlimited number of vector tile layers can be switched between using a Power BI slicer, or driven from your data context using a DAX measure.

Vector tile attributes can be used to match features against data in your Power BI dataset to enable cross-filtering, highlighting and conditional formatting.
