Dashboard choropleth map with geometry

[der]

We are currently building our dashboards in Apache Superset. With the Git integration in Databricks AI/BI Dashboards, the development process has improved a lot. So we are thinking about switch to Databricks AI/BI Dashboard.

One pain point in Databricks AI/BI Dashboards is the map visualization for custom choropleths. Unfortunately, this is not supported 😥, which means no custom regions can be displayed:

In contrast, Apache Superset offers much more flexibility through deck.gl:

According following video by @MathieuDB  there is WIP for Geometries

Is there a roadmap for this feature? @mjohns @dbkent

Hi @der ,

Fantastic choice to switch to Databricks AI/BI Dashboards! They are super awesome.

Unfortunately we do not have custom GeoJSON/choropleth support currently, but it’s a common feature request and internally tracked with DB-I-14646, DB-I-5257 and are considered for development. The roadmap does not specify a fixed timeline, but I have gone ahead and added a vote on this feature request by you, which will help to get them more attention.

Would you meanwhile, like to workaround by creating a mapping table where your custom region IDs are linked to the required built-in Databricks region level?

Thanks!
