Luca,

You'll find a dozen by searching for Google Maps here.  For example:

Thank'you,

but i've already follow that discussion, i've download the example but for me it still doesn't work.

Another think is that i don't undrstand how the map become the background of the chart.

thank you

Oh, it is a rather different question 🙂

See chart properties, Colors tab.  there is radio-button "dynamic image", and the field to the right of it where the whole google maps secret sits.

And make sure that you don't use 100% transparency, right below...

Thank'you.

I've been using the 8.5 version of qlikview that didn't support dynamic image.

Now working with the 11 all work well.

Hi luke, How did you get the gmap_key, will it work when hosted on the server as well as the client or the key is different for both?

Luca,

True, there is no dynamic image in 8.50.
There is a little different, less convinient solution.  Keep your scatter chart transparent, on top level.  Behind the chart, on bottom, set a text box, and copy the same exact text for map calculation as you use in dynamic image.

Regards,
Michael

PS: For rajeshvaswani77 the same key works on server and client.

hi rajeshvaswani77,

to tell the truth i've used the key "embedded" in the example.

But may be you can found somethinh usefull here

..."To create your API key, visit the APIs Console at      https://code.google.com/apis/console and log in with your Google  Account."...

Hi All,

GIS/Maps Analytics in QlikView is a very interesting topic indeed.

However, there are many technical limitations in using Google Maps (GMaps) to display QlikView KPI indicators. First of all, the drill-down, pan and selection capabilities are quite limited. Moreover, you cannot display several indicators at the same time and on the same map (background + foreground indicators), you are also limited to draw bubbles and therefore you cannot display pie/bar charts nor "real" heat maps. Finally, you cannot display QlikView KPIs on specific Sales/Business Areas with GMaps such as the Bricks in the Pharmaceutical sector (Brick = aggregation of zipcodes).

On top of that, there are also a few "commercial" aspects to be considered since many QlikView customers & channel partners use GMaps API "FREE" Key inside their QlikView server or rich client without complying with GMaps license terms...Indeed, for "professional internal use" (intranet, extranet or internet with username/password authentication to QlikView application), you must buy GMaps API "Premier" which costs about 10,000 $ USD per year or 8,500 euros per year + possible extra fees depending upon the total number of daily hits.

A few alternatives exist such as Open Street Map (totally FREE) or other WMS/TMS services. I hereby suggest you to have a look at our new mapping extension for QlikView 11 SR1 namely "GeoQlik v11.6":

Please find hereafter a few screenshots of GeoQlik V11.6 using WMS/TMS services to display QlikView KPIs:

Thanks and best regards,

David
