How to change the map url in built-in map chart to a local GeoAnalytics map server

By default, the built-in Map chart always uses maps on https://maps.qlikcloud.com. 

Some customers set up a local GeoAnalytics map server and would like to change the map URL to the local map server

From Qlik Sense April 2018, the built-in Map chart can be used with GeoAnalytics Server in an on-premise solution. For this GeoAnalytics Data Package 18.04 or newer is needed. First, install the data package according to the guide including the optional step named "Enable support for Qlik Sense Map" or similar. Then go to your Qlik Sense installation and point the Sense map to the server by editing the file mapconf.json in C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Client\assets (or similar) and set the URL to the server in the serverUrl property and the key you have chosen during data package installation for Sense map users in serverKey.

Example:

 

 

{ "serverUrl":"https://mysite.com ", "serverKey":"abcdefg" }

 

 

Note that every time Qlik Sense is upgraded this file will be overwritten, so it will need to be edited again. Changing default configuration is not support by Qlik Support. Always make a backup prior to making any changes. 

Refer to Using GeoAnalytics with Qlik Sense map for more information.

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind 

 

Thanks for the article. Can you confirm if server URL should contain the port number as well if we have configured using a custom port? Thanks in advance.

"serverUrl":"https://mysite.com:portnumber "

Regards
