Add geospatial controls to your app
You can add a number of geospatial controls to your canvas app to support scenarios that involve mapping locations and addresses.
Components are groups of controls that can answer the need for a specific scenario. You can read more about controls and how to build your own in the Power Apps developer library.
The following prebuilt controls can be used for geospatial and mapping scenarios:
Prerequisites
An admin must enable the geospatial features in the Power Platform admin center for the environment. This requires reviewing and agreeing to specific terms of service.
An admin must ensure the geospatial controls will not be blocked by the environment's data loss prevention policies.
Important
The controls require the default Organizations data source to be present. This data source is included whenever you insert the controls into an app, but if you manually delete it you'll need to add it before the controls will work:
- With the control selected, go to the Data sources tab on the side navigation menu.
- In the search field, enter Organizations, and then select the data source that appears. This will add it to the control.
Enable the geospatial features for the environment
Before you can use geospatial features in your apps, an admin must enable access to the features for the environment where you want to create your app.
The geospatial features require additional terms of use that must be reviewed and agreed to.
Open the Power Platform admin center.
On the Environments tab, select the environment you want to use for your apps, and then select Settings from the top menu.

Expand Product, and then select Features.

Under Geospatial services, set the toggle switch to On. A terms of service notice will appear. Read through the terms of service, and if you agree, select the checkbox I agree to the terms of service, and then select Enable.

Important
You must read and agree to the terms of service before you can use geospatial features.
The following are the terms of service:
These features use mapping capabilities that are powered by a third party, TomTom(tm), and operate outside your tenant's geographic region, compliance boundary, or national cloud instance.
Microsoft shares the address and location queries with TomTom(tm). The name of the customer or end user who entered the query is not shared.
This feature is non-regional and the queries you provide may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Microsoft or its subprocessors operate.
Additional licensing requirements might be required to enable this feature.
Note
Requests sent between TomTom(tm) and the Azure Maps service are not exposed over the public Internet.
Requests between apps you create with the control and the Azure Maps service are sent over HTTPS.
Select Save at the bottom of the settings page.

Review the environment's data loss prevention policies
The geospatial controls require the Microsoft Dataverse and Spatial Services connectors. This connector is used by the Power Apps Maps and Address Input controls to connect to Microsoft’s Azure Maps service. It is used to fetch map tiles and satellite imagery, geocode addresses, and search for addresses. Thus, it is required for the Interactive Map and Address Input controls to function.
For the controls to function properly, these connectors must not have conflicting data loss prevention policies. An admin must review the environment's data loss prevention policies and ensure that these connectors are classified under the same data group, typically the Business data group. Learn more about data loss prevention policies for Power Platform.
Next steps
Start installing the controls in your apps:
- Visualize and interpret location data with the Interactive map control.
- See dynamic address suggestions as you type with the Address input control.
