Add data to a map
In ArcGIS Maps for Fabric you can create maps that include data from your lakehouse in Microsoft Fabric as well as contextual layers from your ArcGIS Online organization or ArcGIS Living Atlas.
Add data from your lakehouse in Microsoft Fabric
ArcGIS Maps for Fabric supports a variety of data formats like GeoJSON, Parquet, and CSV layers. If you add a CSV layer to your map, the file must include location fields that contain latitude and longitude coordinates. Parquet data must either include location fields that contain latitude and longitude coordinates or be formatted as GeoParquet. GeoJSON data include spatial location information inherently.
