Databrick Dashboards Maps

shubham_meshram — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 15:59:17 GMT

I am currently unable to use the MAPS (Choropleth) feature in databricks dashboard, however I am able to use it in the legacy dashboard. I would like my users to use a single dashboard that has all the combined features than exposing them to 2 different dashboards.

Is there any expected date on when this will be possible in the new dashboards?

Hi shubham_meshram,

How are you doing today?, As per my understanding, You're totally right to want everything in one dashboard—it's not ideal having to send users to both the new and legacy dashboards just to get all the features. Right now, the Choropleth (MAPS) feature isn’t yet available in the new Databricks dashboards, even though it works fine in the legacy version. Sadly, there's no confirmed release date yet for when this will be added. Databricks is working on bringing over all features to the new dashboard experience, but it's still in progress. For now, the best workaround is to either keep using the legacy dashboard for maps or use an external tool like Power BI if you need geospatial visualizations. I agree—it would be great to have it all in one place, and hopefully support for maps in the new dashboard comes soon!

Regards,

Brahma

Thanks for your input @Brahmareddy , I just met some folks from Databricks at a booth in Missouri and they confirmed April end would be the planned timeline for the maps feature release. Thanks for your input
