3D Globe
Spatial data on an interactive 3D Earth
Plot locations on a rotating globe by place name or by latitude and longitude. Names are resolved offline from a gazetteer built into the visual, so no report data ever leaves Power BI.
Certified by Microsoft
Illustration of the visual's layout.
A 3D globe is a world map drawn as a sphere, so land near the poles keeps its true size and a global sales or supply-chain picture reads as it does on a desk globe. ChartPad’s 3D Globe for Power BI plots your locations as bubbles on that sphere, sized and coloured by your measures.
The difference from the built-in map visuals is where place names are resolved. Bing and Azure Maps geocode on a server, which some tenants disallow. This visual carries its own gazetteer and resolves countries, regions and cities inside the report, so it keeps working in tenants where the built-in map visuals are switched off and in reports that must not send data outside Power BI. A Country/Region field settles ambiguous names, and Latitude and Longitude override the lookup for an exact position.
It is Microsoft-certified, so exports to PowerPoint and PDF and email subscriptions work as they do for a native visual.
Capabilities
Offline geocoding
Countries, states, provinces and the 5,000 largest cities resolve inside the visual, from a gazetteer built at package time. No lookup ever leaves the report.
Names or coordinates
Bind a place name and let it resolve, or override it row by row with exact Latitude and Longitude. A Country/Region field disambiguates names that occur twice.
Proportional bubbles
Map a measure to Size to scale each mark between a smallest and largest radius, and a Legend field to colour them by category.
Four map styles
Satellite, built from NASA Earth Observatory imagery, plus Dark, Light and Atlas — each with its own land, ocean and relief treatment.
Atmosphere and stars
Toggle clouds, terrain relief and the atmosphere glow, and set the density and brightness of the starfield behind the globe.
Rotation and zoom
Drag to rotate with tunable inertia, zoom on scroll or on Ctrl-scroll between your own near and far limits, and auto-rotate for dashboards left on screen.
Fixed starting view
Open on a continent, on coordinates you choose, or on Auto — which reads the viewer's timezone. A fixed view makes PDF and PowerPoint exports reproducible.
Tooltips and cross-filtering
Default and report-page tooltips, click-to-cross-filter with highlighting, multi-visual selection and keyboard focus.
