OpenStreetMap Extension Object

[rbecher]

This is an extension object which I made out of Alexander Karlsson's Google Map extension:

http://community.qlik.com/message/153412

It uses the CloudMade.com Web API to display OpenStreetMap tiles. This is a first version with marker custers and automate positioning dependend from the data selection. You can zoom and drag inside the map.

The extension needs Lat/Long as dimension and a marker label as expression, as you can see in my demo app. It was tested with QV11.

Any feedback is very welcome!

Caution: I have to mention here that a demo API key is used in the extension. If you realy want to use this in a production environment you should get your own personal API key at: www.cloudmade.com

Update: Alexander and I have improved slightly. Now you can enter the API key in the properties pane and you can switch the markers clustering

Hi Ralp,

This is very helpful. I have tried the same in my document. As per the javascript we are using the below line to locate the marker on the map

var officeLocation = new CM.LatLng(51.50757, -0.1078);

This is a constant location, right?

What if we want the Latiude and Longitude to be dynamic, i.e from the dataset which we refer to.

What all points we are showing on the map, i want to replace the current icon with my icon image.

Thanks in Advance,

M.Santosh Kumari

You have to rewrite the Script.js of my extension. Btw. we provide professional services to develop such things..

Hi Ralf,

Thank you for sharing the OSM map, it has nice interface and functionality

I have installed the map on my QlikView Server (version 11). The extension object works fine on QlikView developer however when I publish the dashboard on access point I do not see the map on dashboard. I added the map manually from extension objects section in dashboard from accesspoint but I still do not see the map.

I have installed the map at following location -

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects\QlikView\Examples

The folder name is - CloudMadeWebMaps

Please help me to fix this issue.

Thanks,

Samir.

Hi Samir,

you just have to doubleclick the .qar file on the server and then copy the user folder from:

C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView\Extensions\Objects\CloudMadeWebMaps

to the server folder:

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects\CloudMadeWebMaps

Hi Ralf,

Great work and very useful. Is there a way to change the standard marker image as in Alexander's Google Map Extension Objects? I can't seem to find one?

Kind Regards,

Marco

Hi Marco,

thanks. This would be possible with CloudMade.com Web API. But therefor I (or someone else) have to implement this feature into the extension. But you're free to code it yourself.. 😉

Hello Ralf, many thanks for your work.

Many thanks,

Hi BQ,

unfortunately extensions cannot be used in QlikView Reports.
