A full day of aircraft ADS-B transmissions captured by a Raspberry Pi, producing over 200,000 points. Flights are rendered as blurred, semi-transparent linestrings revealing busy airways, plus H3 hexagon heatmaps — all 211,052 rows visualised in a single Power BI report.
The boundaries of UK National Parks from the ONS Open Geography Portal, displayed on a stripped-down background showing just land and water outlines. Each park is filled with a unique pattern from the built-in pattern library, with data labels showing park names.
Current Built Up Area boundaries from the ONS expanded by 10 metres per decade out to 2125. A time slicer lets you drag through the years and watch how much green space would be consumed if built-up areas grew at that rate.
Over 850,000 crimes from data.police.uk for London (Jan–Sep 2025), bucketed into H3 hexagons with auto-resolution based on zoom level. Companion charts filter automatically as you pan and zoom the map.
A demonstration of how to build a Power BI button slicer that lets report users switch between different OpenStreetMap-based background map styles — Toner, DataViz, Positron and more — at runtime, with full customisation options.
Fire stations across multiple fire and rescue services with 5–30 minute drive-time isochrones generated using Azure Maps Route Range API, specifying real fire engine dimensions. Stations are colour-coded by staffing type, with 3D buildings and roads providing context.
55 million Ofcom mobile signal strength readings collected across the UK road network, encoded into H3 cells at multiple resolutions. Signal quality is colour-coded and extruded in 3D, with drillable H3 hierarchies for exploring coverage at different scales.
A side-by-side comparison of three spatial indexing systems: H3 hexagons, A5 pentagons (uniform cells without mixed shapes), and S2 square cells. Each is displayed with 3D extrusion and colour-coded aggregation to show the differences between grid approaches.
A fictional space-themed theme park built from a ChatGPT-generated image georeferenced as a raster layer, with no real-world background map. DAX-generated SVG overlays display per-ride KPIs including queue length, throughput, satisfaction, and open/closed status.
US Census Bureau boundary files reprojected into the US Albers projection with Alaska and Hawaii resized and repositioned below the mainland. Includes both state-level and zip-code-level boundaries as PMTiles on an empty background.
The Environment Agency's Flood Map for Planning showing areas at risk of flooding from rivers and sea (zones 2 and 3). The 2GB+ dataset is served as PMTiles, with 3D terrain and extruded buildings so at-risk properties appear visibly surrounded by flood water.
Supermarket locations in Edinburgh from OpenStreetMap displayed using four different icon approaches: brand logo SVGs from URLs, auto-generated letter icons, full name text icons, and icons from the built-in icon library — all with conditional colouring and sizing.
Ocean depth visualised using Natural Earth's Bathymetry dataset across 12 depth levels from 0 to 10,000 metres. Converted to PMTiles vector tiles and styled with a pale-to-deep-blue colour scale on a minimal background.
A comprehensive demonstration of data label capabilities — position, font sizing by zoom level, overlap behaviour, container styling, multi-line text, and reference layer label support. Shows extensive formatting options including conditional formatting for label colours.
470,000 rows of monthly crime data from data.police.uk for all UK police forces, aggregated from 210,000 unique locations into roughly 4,400 H3 hexagon cells. Demonstrates why hexagonal binning is essential for large point datasets in Power BI.
A complete map of England's bus routes built from GTFS timetable data, with road-following paths generated between stops for every timetabled service using Open Route Service. The resulting 1GB GeoJSON is served as PMTiles from Azure Blob Storage.
A curated set of PMTiles files for major UK administrative geographies including NHS regions, cancer alliances, ICBs, fire and police areas, local authorities, MSOAs, LSOAs, output areas, and wards — solving the twin problems of row limits and file size for complex boundary data.
A real-time daylight terminator showing day and night across the Earth on a dark-themed DataViz Black background. Features customised dark hill-shading and a white map labels overlay so place names remain visible over the darkness effect.
High-resolution drone imagery from OpenAerialMap overlaid on a map in Power BI using PMTiles raster support. The GeoTIFF is converted through MBTiles with multi-zoom levels, enabling large-scale aerial imagery without a GIS server.
Telecoms cell tower sectors visualised as WKT polygon wedges representing each cell's coverage area. Unlike static SVG images, these wedges are selectable for cross-filtering and scale naturally with zoom, making individual cells interactive.
Interactive map of GoAhead group bus routes in North East England, sourced from the Department for Transport's Bus Open Data. Select routes or search for stops, with timetable information displayed on hover using WKT linestrings.
Power BI drill-down through pre-calculated H3 hexagonal cells at multiple resolutions, using road traffic accident data in Surrey. Move seamlessly between regional overviews and street-level hotspot analysis.
Santa's Christmas Eve journey animated around the world using NORAD tracking data loaded via Power Query. Built with Icon Map Slicer, demonstrating animated line and point rendering along a global route.
Create interactive legends using Power BI's built-in slicer visuals with conditional formatting. The lightning-bolt slicer's accent bar is colour-matched to serve as both a legend and an interactive filter.
Route lines between Heathrow Airport and major UK airports drawn along actual roads using the Azure Maps routing API called from Power Query, producing real road geometry instead of straight lines.
