Flow Globe for Power BI
Every flow in your network, on one globe.
Give it three columns: where from, where to, how much. It draws the network from your place names.
- 32,355 places built in
- 32,008 cities, 97 ports and 250 countries
- No network calls
- The visual asks Power BI for no privilege
- 10 languages
- English, French, German and seven more
- Globe and flat map
- Switch between 3D and 2D
Five questions, one map.
Flow Globe answers the five things a reader asks of a network, each with a visual channel of its own.
Each flow is an arc between two places. Here 12 corridors link 16 places, each sized by its total activity.
Particles run from origin to destination along every arc. When two places trade both ways, draw both arcs or net them into one.
Thickness is the value. Shanghai → Rotterdam carries 61.1 k, Tokyo → Los Angeles 2.6 k: the thickest arc is 23 times the thinnest.
With an objective, colour shows the gap to plan. Over twelve months, 6 corridors ran below it, 5 above and 1 within 0.5 %.
Premium view, shown here with a demonstration licence.
Each corridor is compared with the previous twelve months: 7 up, 1 down, 4 stable within 5 %. A vanished corridor stays drawn.

Privacy
Nothing leaves the report.
The map, the place database and the fonts are inside the visual. It behaves the same in a locked-down tenant or offline.
"privileges": []No map tiles
The world map is drawn from data shipped inside the visual. Nothing is fetched to draw it.
No geocoding service
Cities, ports and countries are matched inside the visual. Your place names are not sent anywhere.
No telemetry
No analytics and no usage reports. The visual does not phone home.
No privileges
The visual fetches nothing, offline included, so there is nothing to allow.
The one exception is the Manual link of an empty visual, opened only by you. The security page has the detail.
Displaying your data is always free. What Flow Globe computes is Premium.
Free
- Globe and flat map, place-name matching, zoom levels
- Value view: thickness, colour by category, legend
- Flow cards and place cards, with each place's top origins and destinations
- Search, Top N, minimum value, bundling, cross-filtering
Premium
- Variance to objective view
- What changed view
- Views on your extra measures and categories
- Cover % of volume filter
- Concentration of a place: top 5 and inbound (HHI)
Plans and prices will be published with the AppSource release. Without a confirmed licence the Value view shows, and every flow stays on the map.
