See how the Icon Map Catalog works — from search to styled layer in under a minute.
The Icon Map Catalog gives Power BI users instant access to a curated library of geospatial reference layers. Search by name, region, or tag — preview layers on a live map — then add them to your report with a single click. No shapefiles. No GIS expertise. Just the geographic context your data needs.
Search & Filter
Find layers by keyword, tag, or region. The catalog is fully searchable and filterable — narrow down hundreds of layers to exactly what you need in seconds.
Live Map Preview
See every layer rendered on an interactive map before you commit. Pan, zoom, and inspect features to make sure it's the right fit for your report.
Configure Styling
Adjust fill colours, border widths, opacity, and label settings live. What you see in the preview is what you'll get in Power BI.
Data Binding
Bind catalog layers to fields in your Power BI semantic model with a few clicks. Turn static boundaries into dynamic, data-driven visualisations.
Optimised for Performance
Layers are served as vector tiles, so even large datasets render smoothly. No file downloads, no waiting — everything streams on demand.
Always Up to Date
Boundary changes, new datasets, and corrections are published centrally. Your reports pick up updates automatically — no manual work required.
Layer Tiers
The catalog includes layers at different access levels to suit every need.
