Well, the great news is that in Qlik Sense, Mapping with OpenStreetMap is out of the box - no extension required

You can find the Qlik tutorial video on Mapping from Michael Tarallo here: http://community.qlik.com/videos/2031

Hi Fernando - the BETA had a pretty straight forward hookup to openstreetmaps.

The GA version (1.0) is more powerful but you need to refer to the help for samples of how you enter the URL:

https://help.qlik.com/sense/en-US/online/#../Subsystems/WorkingWith/Content/Visualizations/Map/Map.htm?Highlight=URL

Here is a snippet from the help link:

Adding a background map

If , for example, you have added a point layer with the major cities in the world, you normally want to have a background map to show the context.

Do the following:

In the toolbar, click @Edit.
In the properties panel to the right, click Background.
Click the Show button.The button is set to On.
From the list below, copy a URL and paste it in the URL text box.
From the list below, copy the attribution string that corresponds to the URL and paste the string in the Attributionbox.
