Google Map Integration

Thu, 18 Dec 2014 12:54:56 GMT

Hi all

I'm very new to QlikView and I tried to integrate the google map functionality in a test app and I am very surprised but it worked with the first try! OK - I just copied a existing demo, but common I'm not a developer 🙂

But now I have some questions and I would be very pleased if you could help me to answer this:

1) I know there are different map-types. I would like to use the roadmap-type but without detailed city descriptions. Is there a possibitlity to swith off city descriptions?

2) I cannot show the value of the bullets in the map, Why? How can I change this?

3) Does anybody know a free Geodata generator?

4) I have issues with the slider and I cannot integrate it.

5) Sometimes the zoom in/out works sometimes not. then I got the full world picture back. how can I solve this?

Hi, If you have the Google API guide, you should add the below to your script:

maptype:

LOAD * INLINE [

maptype

roadmap

mobile

satellite

terrain

hybrid

];

Then you can use maptype field to select type of map in your app

Hi Jonathan

this is already there, but will not solve the description issue.

use a listbox to show maptype fields, enable "Always one selected value"

did that - but if you have a look at my app... when you select France and you choose Zoom Level 8 or higher it will show you the world....

Apologies, I can see in your screenshot that it is already there, you can click on maptype listbox to change to type you want

correct but it will not solve the issue with city descriptions... when I add all my customers I can't see them because everywhere are this city names....

there could be Lat & Long values out of bounds to zoom, What i mean is if you have many locations selected, and the best possible zoom will be to show the whole world map.

You have mentioned you have copied it from an existing qv app, there could be other factors involved.

Try to make your google map from scratch. you can always use the API guide.

if you want to remove City labels and some other tweaks to google map,

google the below:

"enhance-your-qlikview-maps-with-a-few-simple-tweaks"

this will lead you to the Google Maps API Style Map wizard
