- [Instructor] Let's say that we want to visualize large datasets like weather radar data points on a map. Often it could take a long time to load these map layers, because they contain so many geospatial data points. One way to efficiently visualize these large geospatial datasets on a map is by using Map Tiles, which consist of several map layers stuck together. We're going to use the Map Tile formats with the Z, X and Y Parameters that will use Power BI to pass into them, which is one type of Map Tile. Here, Z represents Zoom, while X and Y represent Cartesian coordinates of the square Map Tile that we want to render on a Web Mercator Map Projection. Before we go into Power BI, let's get a better understanding of how these Map Tiles work. I'm going to use an example from Azure Maps with the weather radar data. You'll need a subscription key for your Azure Maps to load these Map Tile layers. I've included in the exercise…
