For every change and fix in each version, see the Release notes.

Version 1.0.1.1

Icon Map Lite is built to meet Microsoft's certification requirements: it makes no network requests, and everything it draws is inside the visual or stored in the report.

The same part of Europe on four of the built-in themes: Light, Dark, Colored light and High contrast — Four of the seven built-in themes

A world map inside the visual

A vector world map built into the visual, from world scale to country scale (zoom levels 0 to 3), in seven themes, or None for a transparent background.
Place names follow the report's language: English, German, Spanish, French or Portuguese.
Switches for the map's labels, boundaries, and land and water features.
With Windows high contrast on, the map switches to the High contrast theme in the viewer's own colors.

See The background map.

Selection, filtering and accessibility

Selecting on the map filters the report like a slicer, by click, lasso or radius, and bookmarks keep the selection. See Select and filter with the map.
The map can filter other visuals to the area it shows. See Filter by the map's location.
Keyboard navigation of the items on the map.

Changes since 1.0.1.0

The built-in world map now covers zoom levels 0 to 3, so that the visual fits the size limit for importing a visual into the Power BI service.
The Routes line shape, data labels on shapes from PMTiles archives, more card label options, and Cells from uploaded shapes were added.
