* Operations *
Neighboring areas
Closest using routes
Reverse lookup with Within or Closest
Realtime traffic
Export to GeoJSON
Extending QGA with ogr2ogr

* Design *
Use native map
Map insets, zoom to
Multi symbols layers
Map as legend
Layer switcher
Layers with top 5
Expression switcher
Classification methods for coloring

* System *
Simplify for Within
Bin intersect vs Within
Use standard areas at call
Loading all extensions
MS SQL Server access
WMS Wizard
Linking to GeoJSON

Hi Patrick,

thanks for sharing! I would replicate the real time traffic app but I'm using Qlik Cloud so it's impossible to visualize the map component details of your qvf. 

I tried the maprequest traffic flow API and it returns an image of the map that I asked but that image is replicated many times on my map. How can I obtain a dynamic overlap full screen on the map instead ?

This is my url request added as TMS background layer:

='https://www.mapquestapi.com/staticmap/v5/map?center=45.30697, 10.41343&zoom=10&traffic=flow&size=1100,500@2x&key=<MyKey>'

I attach the wrong image that I see on my map (many identical images of the same answer from the API request).

I can't find any documentation about this topic on the official website.

Thanks!

Nik
