1. Extensions are mostly ZIP files, once you unzip them, copy that folder to

Local--C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView

Server--C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions

Different types of mapping extensions

SVG (Free Dev/Prod)

Google Cluster, Bubble Map (Free only in Dev/In Prod you need to buy the API from Google)

Qlik Maps (Paid)

GeoQlik (Trial/Paid)

It depends on what you want to show and what data you've

Some maps take Latitude & Longitude as DataSet Point and SVG takes 4 digit CODES I guess and SVG has static maps with their extension and it is a Polygon map. While Google is Points map.

Paid map versions comes both with Polygon/Points, other features too.

Extension Objects .qar files download

the above link has both Google and SVG Maps

Is there any .qvw file that you can share with cluster maps in Qliview 12 edition.

I tried viewing the qvw files with maps posted in web view mode, but no success.

Request your help to get this sorted out.

Thanks.

The files would not automatically download in the location C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView.

You have to copy paste to that location in order to use the extension. Plus you can only ee extensions in QlikView in WebMode.

The requirement you have can be done by Google Cluster Map but paste the unipped files in that location and u webmode in Qlikview.
