map visualization

hi,

does anyone know if it is possible to implement a map visualization that will use country / state names as key identifier instead of needing to import longitude and latitude?

I know that in Tableau it is possible but what about QV?

thanks

you can try this. But here you get the coordinates from google.

You can use the google chart API -- that uses country and state codes. There is a world map example here

and a US map example in the QV Cookbook.

hi marcus,

i looked at the model you sent.

as i said, if you dond have longitude and latitude for all row in data source than your map fails.

not what im looking for but thanks...

hi rob,

thank you for your reply.

as far as i can see, this is a static map. meaning i cant drill down in it and focus on a specific area.

im aiming at a solution that will use google maps (or any other map like GIS for example) so that the map will have some flexability but on the other hand i do want to be able to use country/ state names as data source and not longitude/ latitude info.

thanks,

Elad.

You should try GeoQlik. It is a software that integrates into QlikView to provide maps visualizations. There is a free trial version that allows to use countries names to analyze data, check it out at: http://demo.geoqlik.com. You can also look at examples of this extension at http://qonnections.geoqlik.com.
