(Topo or Geo) Json code for Christchurch Shape Map

Power BI
1

Hello

I have tried my best to locate a GEOJSON code for Christchurch, New Zealand (one that can be used by the Shape Map visual in Power BI Desktop), without any success.
There have been a few related treads in the Forum, but none clear enough for Christchurch.

Does anyone have the Json code, please? If not, could you please suggest the steps I should take to create one?

Kind regards

Doru

Hi @dimbroane,

Have you checked out this video tutorial from Greg Philips?

Here’s the YouTube Link

You may proceed to 02:28 JSON Basics

Hope this helps. Thank you!

Hello and thank you for your suggestion.

The video describes themes and how Json code contributes to that.

Unfortunately, I need a GeoJson map for Christchurch that I can use in my Shape Map.

Thank you for your suggestion, though.

Hi, @dimbroane, If you can find an appropriate map in Shapefile (.shp) format, you can use the mapshaper.org website to easily convert it to geojson.

I hope this helps.

Hello

No, @ektx answer did not solve the problem, but offered the solution for the second step I need to take.
I believe, the first step is to identify the proper dataset (from https://catalogue.data.govt.nz/), then use mapshaper.org to convert iit to GeoJson (if it has not already been converted) for the purpose of using it with Shape Map in Power BI.

I will try to find this dataset when I have a bit of time and advise as such.

Kind regards

@dimbroane Another potential source might be https://opendata.canterburymaps.govt.nz/. Like https://catalogue.data.govt.nz, many of the feature layers are downloadable in geojson format.
