Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I am trying to create an app that I can plot multiple latitude and longitude points on map. We are a trucking company and I want to be able to create breadcrumb trails for our trucks. So essentialy in the powerapp, you would enter the truck number and date range and then the powerapp will plot coordinates on a map. Is there any documentation for this or does anyone have a helpful solutions? Thank you very much!

I already am plotting the 1st Lat and Long using BingMaps. Is it best to put the list of Lat and Longs into a Collection? I have the Lat and Longs in a SQL table already that I could just pull in directly to PowerApps. Just not sure how to make BingMaps connector read multiple Lat and Longs?

Here is what I have so far:

Hi @Anonymous :
Do you want to show multiple points in a Bing map?
The key is using URL.( Get a map with pushpins that does not specify a center point or map area)
I assume that the data structure of your data source is the same as mine.
My data source: truck

ClearCollect( truck, { truckname: "AA", lat: 39.83, Long: -100.51 }, { truckname: "BB", lat: 45.67, Long: -122.81 } )

I’ve made a test for your reference:
Set the image control’s image property to :

"https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Imagery/Map/Road?&" & Concat(AddColumns( truck, "pp", "pp=" & lat & "," & Long & ";" & 21 & ";" & truckname ), pp, "&" ) /*Adjust the data table to the string required by the URL through the combination functions*/ & "&key=AivzmzqHNnj7ZFj1kBy-y3jwUi47k786wERV8Z-5HN4hnwqRtArHBQnfyjpxnVZV" /*” Aivzmzq……“ is my key*/

Is there anyway to get a line connecting the plots on the map? Also, does Power Apps have functionality to make the map interactive; so when you hover over a plot on the map you get an info box pop up? Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous :
Q1:Is there anyway to get a line connecting the plots on the map?
Please try this code:

"https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Imagery/Map/Road?&" & Concat(AddColumns( truck, "pp", "pp=" & lat & "," & Long & ";" & 21 & ";" & truckname ), pp, "&" ) /*Adjust the data table to the string required by the URL through the combination functions*/ &"&dc=l,,3"& "&key=AivzmzqHNnj7ZFj1kBy-y3jwUi47k786wERV8Z-5HN4hnwqRtArHBQnfyjpxnVZV" /*” Aivzmzq……“ is my key*/

Q2:Also, does Power Apps have functionality to make the map interactive; so when you hover over a plot on the map you get an info box pop up?
Since you are getting a static map, I am afraid that it does not have the ability to interact with users.But you can dynamically adjust the parameters of the URL by configuring external controls, which seems to be the only way to interact with the map.

So here is what my table looks like that holds the latitude/longitude plots that I want to put on the map.

Using your formula with my table and column names, and Bing Key the map does not show up.

Hi @Anonymous
I did the same test, but did not encounter the problem you mentioned.
my data source:

ClearCollect( truck, { TurckNmumber: "JGH001", Latitude: 35.15, longitude: -90.13 }, { TurckNmumber: "2702", Latitude: 41.27, longitude: -95.93 }, { TurckNmumber: "11012694", Latitude: 41.27, longitude: -95.93 }, { TurckNmumber: "11006289", Latitude: 41.27, longitude: -95.93 }, { TurckNmumber: "2037", Latitude: 41.89, longitude: -112.23 } )

Map:

"https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Imagery/Map/Road?&" & Concat(AddColumns( truck, "pp", "pp=" & Latitude & "," & longitude & ";" & 2 & ";" & TurckNmumber ), pp, "&" ) /*Adjust the data table to the string required by the URL through the combination functions*/ &"&dc=l,,3"& "&key=AivzmzqHNnj7ZFj1kBy-y3jwUi47k786wERV8Z-5HN4hnwqRtArHBQnfyjpxnVZV" /*” Aivzmzq……“ is my key*/

I suggest you check your data source, field name, data type,KEY.

Would it make a difference that my data source is a SQL table and not a Collection? I think that is the only thing different from what I did.

I used the same formula as you, except I am using my SQL table instead of a Collection. Any ideas why I am not getting any results?

Hi @Anonymous
I suggest you try to put this code in the text property of label control to see if it works.
