Azure map no link between different modes of transport

I was using the "Route Map" visual in PowerBi to display the routes by modes of transport Air or Land, however I had to change to Azure maps since the other is no longer being supported.

I am having an issue with Azure Maps because if for the same ID I have two different modes of transport, these are not being connected.

Is there a solution pls?

    Hello @Magro Michael

    Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A forum.

    In the Azure Maps visual, paths are created based on the Path ID and Point Order fields. All points that belong to the same Path ID are connected in the order specified by Point Order. If records for the same shipment/ID are split across different transport modes (for example, Air and Land) and the visual treats them as separate path groups, the route may appear disconnected.

    Please verify the following:

    • The same journey uses a single, consistent Path ID across all route segments.
    • Point Order values are sequential across both Air and Land segments.
    • The Mode of Transport field is being used only for coloring/legend purposes and is not unintentionally creating separate path groups.

    Azure Maps currently connects points based on the path definition rather than automatically joining separate paths that share the same business ID. If you need a continuous route across multiple transport modes, you may need to model the entire journey under a single Path ID while using the transport mode only as an attribute for styling or filtering.

    I Hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any further queries.
