PowerApps - Geo Map Control using Dataverse Data Source

Question

Hello,
I'm building a PowerApps using a "Map Control" so the user can view different plot points. I'm having trouble adding a Dataverse column to the "AddressDataSource" property. The examples that I've viewed for this property only showed a SharePoint data sources. Is there a way to add a Dataverse column into that property?

Thanks!

Dear Chijioke,

Based on my test, you can't change the AddressDataSource value. To lock on the location of addresses, you can connect it to an Address Input control or a dynamic collection with Latitude and Longitude.

You can set the dynamic properties of the location in ItemsLatitudes and ItemsLongitudes in the Map control based on the field names of the collection in Items.

Here is an example for your reference.

I created a Dataverse table naming Geographical Location as follows and I want to show the location on Map when I click on the specific city.

Thanks for your response!

I have a Dataverse table with a calculated column that concats the address based on the other columns in the table.

I've set the table to the "Items" property. I'm having trouble adding the related column to the "ItemAddress" and/or "AddressDataSource" properties. I'm unsure which property I should use to show different pinned locations.

Dear Chijioke,

We are glad to help you and hope that the issue can be fixed as soon as possible.

I think that you can create an Excel file with the table format with the columns such as City, Latitude, Longitude and so on like what is mentioned in Use an interactive map control in Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn, create a table in Microsoft Dataverse from the Excel table and then connect the Dataverse table to an app, create a collection based on the Dataverse table's selected item and connect the collection to the Map control.

The detailed steps is provided in Use an interactive map control in Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn.

May I know what do you mean about adding a Dataverse column to the "AddressDataSource" property? You should be able to connect the Dataverse table to the Map control and then the related table should be selected.

What's the configuration in your environment? Some related screenshots are appreciated.
