google maps api v3 integration? a simple guide for beginners?

Sun, 01 Sep 2013 22:17:44 GMT

Hi,

I want to create a simple google map chart in my Qlikview desktop version. I downloaded a white paper but that seems too old. When I try to search it on the forum, I am not able to find a tutorial/solution on how to integrate/create a google map in my qlikview document. I am a total newbie to googlemaps in qlikview so will need a brief step by step guide

I have already created an api key in my google account. However I have read in some places that googlemap api v3 does not require a key. Can someone also please guide me where to find all those scripts for integrating the map into my qv document

Many thanks

Arif

Hi,

Take a look at the attached application. There is all script you need to use google maps API.

I confirm that you doesn't need a key for the API v3. For more information see this topic : Static Maps API V2 Developer Guide - Google Maps Image APIs — Google Developers

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

Many Thanks. Just a small question though. Is it possible to apply a country filter to the map so that the map should or highlights the countries selected in the filter

Arif,

Yes you can highlight a country (Static Maps API V2 Developer Guide - Google Maps Image APIs — Google Developers Encoded Polylines), but for each country you need an encoded polyline and I don't know how get it dynamically (maybe with a google web service but I don't find it).

Does anyone have any idea why one of these returns a map and the other doesn't?

Well, it's working fine from home. I must've hit the 2,500 daily limit on API calls. I didn't think I was even close to it but I must have been.
