Satellite Slippy Map

Thu, 05 Feb 2015 07:11:51 GMT

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a slippy map with satellite imaginary. I found one on the Qlik Sense Slippy Map page, but it doesn't zoom in far enough. The idea is to actually see orchard blocks on a farm. Does anyone know of such a slippy map?

Thank you,

Conrad

Hi Conrad,

You can sign up a free account in MapBox. MapBox gives you 50000 views (1 view = 15 tile images) per month for free. MapBox supports Satellite images. So you can style your map with Satellite images.

After you have your map designed, you can use it in QlikSense. The URL you need to enter into QlikSense will have the following format

http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/[YOURMAPBOXPROJECT]/${z}/${x}/${y}.png

If you have any problem, let me know!

Best,

Quan

HI Quan,

Thank you so much. Works perfectly. Have you ever had a case where 50 000 views was not enough?

Thanks,

Conrad

Hi Conrad,

It depends on how much do you use the map object. I use my URL from time to time in addition to other URLs (OpenStreetMap, MapQuest, etc.). I didn't have any problem with 50000 views per month so far. As I know you can create several accounts in MapBox and then use them.

Hi Quan,

I'm very confused... I just noticed that my map link is http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/hvquan.imcc7234/${z}/${x}/${y}.png which seems to be yours. I get it when copying the link you sent...

The link I get in MapBox is https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/conradqbix.l4n3nkp3/page.html?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoiY29ucmFkcWJpeCIsImEiOiJWOHVRRnNBIn0.WClzmUeWhoLjqhu9YFLjwg#12/-25.0260/29.3822

How do I get a .png?

Hi Conrad,

QlikSense uses OpenLayers.js (version 2.x) to access slippy map servers, so the format of the URL of a slippy map server supported by OpenLayers.js (version 2.x) is

http://.../${z}/${x}/${y}.png

From your link, I suppose your Map id is: conradqbix.l4n3nkp3

So the URL to your map should be:

http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/conradqbix.l4n3nkp3/${z}/${x}/${y}.png

However, I see this URL doesn't work.

I have also tried the following

https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/conradqbix.l4n3nkp3/${z}/${x}/${y}.png

but it doesn't work.

Can you check again what is your Map id? and you may also ask MapBox to get their support.

Regards,

Quan

Hi,

The correct map id is now conradqbix.l7pej7ca. I created a new map hoping it would help but no luck. MapBox support is also trying to help me but not really getting anywhere.

Hi,

You may need to add access token key to the end of url. The format is as follows:

https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/conradqbix.l7pej7ca/${z}/${x}/${y}.png?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY

If you go to your project you can see your access token key in the Share box as shown in the following image:

Tried all of them, but still doesn't work. The share link I get from the site works in a browser, but not in the app.

Hi Conrad,

The following URL is working:

https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/conradqbix.l7pej7ca/${z}/${x}/${y}.png?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoiY29ucmFkcWJpeCIsImEiOiJWOHVRRnNBIn0.WClzmUeWhoLjqhu9YFLjwg#3/0.00/0.00

I just tested it!

You just copy and past the above link into the URL box of the background map.

Regards,

Hi,

Very strange that it works on your end as it doesn't on mine. Not even in a browser.

I am having the exact same issues. I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly but I'm just getting a blank map. I wish mapbox would create the link for Qlik like they do for Tableau and others.
