How to interactively zoom in and out in google map

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 01:24:36 GMT

Dear all,

I need a hand and a slider like the ones shown in the link, which allow me to drag wherever I want and zoom in and out at any zoom levels. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/map-simple.html

I've checked GoogleMap API, it's way too advanced for me and not QlikView-oriented. Can anyone help me with this? Please provide me some examples at least. Thanks.

Dear Ptung,

Because I can't send you our QlikView application I included the Google Maps Example QVW (created by Anthony Deighton). In this application I included a zoom slider that we use for our Google Maps presentation in QlikView. It's relatively simple, but it's a start.

Good luck!

Mark

Mark,

That's a fantastic addition! I'm so glad! Has that gotten back to Anthony?

Do you have any idea about the "hand"?

I don't think the "hand" is possible, this could only be possible using an OCX, too bad I have no experience with including OCX objects in QlikView.

In the past I also did some experiments with arrows to move the map, but I can't find the application anymore.. 😞

@Jay:

No, I did not tell Anthony about this, but in fact it's very easy so probably he already know about this possibility.

Found it! I added the movement arrows to the Google Maps QVW like before.

To show you what is possible I also included a search box using a Yahoo Maps Webservice to get the right coordinates. 🙂
I don't know if there is also a Google Maps WS for this available.

Off course you need internet to use this search function and the macro needs system access.

Updated the application:
-It now uses the Google Maps Web Service for the search function.
-Searchstring (like maps.google.com) instead of separated street,city,country.
-No (partial) reload necessary for using WS.
-Fixed some bugs.

Does anybody know how I can update the application in the 'Share QlikViews' section?

Amazing stuff! I got an error on line 43 when I searched for a location it didn't understand. There was a dialog box then an error.

Type mismatch: '[string: " from <b>"]'

Hi Mark,

Thanks a lot for the sample.

But when i type in Acton in the search input box, it will return me no location found.

Did i miss something?

THanks!

You should give the macro's system access, either in the message you get the first time you open the QlikView document, or in the module editor in QlikVIew.

hi Mark,

macro was given system access... i tested the app further and i can search by greenwich but not acton. another issue is when i use search input box, i can't get the map to work when i click at a value in the area listbox...

it's ok if i don't use the search input box... and just use the area listbox but not both... strange...

any idea? thanks!

Hello Kplow,

Thank you for your feedback. I fixed the problem with Acton and uploaded a new version to the Share QlikViews section. By mistake I used Google Maps from Taiwan (http://maps.google.com.tw/) for the search, I don't have a clue why and how this happened. That's why you could only find bigger cities, and not the small ones.. Now I'm using standard Google Maps (http://maps.google.com) for the search, but off course in your case the UK version (http://maps.google.co.uk/) would probably give better results.
The other issue is about the map not adapting to selections, after performing a search. This is because the search function uses it's own variables to adapt the map to the result. That's why I created the fit data to map button. In the standard situation the map is always adapted to the available data, off course this is not suitable for the search funcationality because there is only london data in the example. I just added the search funcation to show what is posstible, but I know the current solution is not always very practical..

regards Mark

Hi Mark,

I downloaded your file and loaded with my own data for testing.

Changes i have madea are resizing the map to 800 from 400. the slide for x & y were 200 & -200, i change them to 800 & -800.

mapping of the bubble works, but not the 3 sliders.

Hope you could guide me on where's the problem?

Thanks.

Hi Mark

Looks great with all the sliders but when I open it the half of the map is white. Anyone else having the same issue? Is there a way to fix it?

Hi Mark,

The illustration for the google map with zoom in and slider very good.

I have a small query here, if i mouse over the map i could see the values are overlapped on to the other.

Is that possible to show only value at a time (though we are placing on a group) if we mouse over the map

Try this one,

I updated the Google API. But take care the map should be squared, otherwise the bubbles wil not be positioned in the right place.
