We are pleased to announce that ArcGIS Maps for Microsoft Fabric is officially in Public Preview. With ArcGIS Maps for Fabric, you can visualize spatial data within the Microsoft Fabric environment using a high quality, custom map interface. If you’ve been extending your data using ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric, you can now display those data using an interactive mapping experience. ArcGIS Maps for Fabric allows you to collaborate with colleagues to unveil spatial insights and make informed decisions with your data.
In ArcGIS Maps for Fabric, you can access spatial data from your lakehouse, as well as a variety of basemaps, and a suite of layers from ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. You can extend your experience in ArcGIS Maps for Fabric by signing into your ArcGIS Online account. This gives you access to your ArcGIS Online Content. ArcGIS Maps for Fabric recognizes geospatial data provided in CSV and GeoJSON file types. GeoParquet support is coming soon.
