Location Service (default) Geometry Service

[TobiasSchlegel]

Foreign postal codes are not mapped properly. Even if I choose  the expected country. Do I have to install something on top or ist this a data issue of my own?

The coverage varies by country, there are no zip code areas for Austria. However there are zip code points so point layer is an option.

There is a list of coverage by country here:

Thanks Patric, the point layer seems to work out.

Unfortunately I don‘t get the syntax of the following description

When location IDs are available specify measures like this:

• Location ID - an identifier that can be used for looking up a location (see Location Options)
• size - a numeric measure that controls size, by default the size is auto scaled between the lowest and highest value

In which way do I have to adress the identifier for a postal code ID? 

I want to use ist in combination with a percentage measure.

Thanks in advance!

For Sense we recommend using the native map chart, it has inherited most of the features from the extensions and faster and easier to use.

In the GeoAnalytics map extensions, the first measure controls the location and the second measure controls the size.

How the location can be used is documented here:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/geoanalytics/Content/Qlik_GeoAnalytics/GeoAnalytics-Sense/Location-Servi...

For example

The following is the city Hamburg in Germany:

Hamburg,DE

This is Hamburg in Sweden:

Hamburg,SE

If you actually wanted the first order administrative area in Germany named Hamburg, you also need to specify a type:

Hamburg,DE:AADM1

You can also specify multiple areas when needed. For instance, in the USA there are many Hamburgs. To get the one in Arkansas, specify:

Hamburg,AR,US

As for zip codes, they can be specified like this:

41319,SE:ZIP

Thanks for the hintch. I testet the location service with the recommended parameters but I'm afraid I still do the syntax wrong. Can you give me an example from an existing project, were the bubbles are created by zipcode. My bubbles disappear every time I try to add a measure.
