SVG Map extension problem with created maps

apriletaylor — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

I've been using Brian Munz's SVG Map extension and am trying to create a map based on the outer UK postcode letters. I've created an svg file using Indiemapper and Inkscape but I cannot get the map to show up at all. There must be something wrong with the format that I am missing but I'm running out of ideas. Can anyone help?

After drawing the map you must program it and create an extension.

I recommend using something already elaborated. Look these links:

Hi,

It worked first time for me.

The easiest thing to do is to put the map in the extension folder e.g.

C:\Users\Adam.Davies\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView\Extensions\Objects\svgMap

If you have it in there, and you've referenced it as shown below then let me know and I'll see what I can do to help debug it.

Thanks, I managed to get it working once I got the folder right.
