Qlik GeoAnalytics mapping capabilities are now part of Qlik Sense

[Anonymous]

Since we launched Qlik GeoAnalytics about a year ago, there has been great interest among both Qlik Sense and QlikView users in adding mapping and geo-analysis capabilities to their Qlik environment.  Now we are making it even easier.  Starting with Qlik Sense April 2018, we updated the mapping capabilities within Qlik Sense to be based on Qlik GeoAnalytics technology.

This new map chart object makes it easy to add maps to your app.  Location related names such as countries, counties, provinces, regions, cities, airports, and zip codes now utilize a dynamic location name lookup service to automatically define and visualize geo data.

This new capability is available to all Qlik Sense users, whether they are using Desktop, Enterprise or Cloud.  Additional Qlik GeoAnalytics features such as multiple layers, layer control, zoom levels, labels, and multiple point symbols are also included.  And if you have maps in your existing apps, they will be seamlessly migrated to the new map object.

Points and area layers are available in this initial release.  Additional layers and more capabilities are planned for future releases. Note that all geo-analysis calculations, such as drive-times, travel areas, binning, clustering or intersections, still require a different license.

If you haven’t seen it yet, some of these new mapping capabilities can be found in the video - What’s New in Qlik Sense April 2018.  Click on the image below to watch the video.

Hi Roland,

Sorry to hear that.

Are Qlik Sense Enterprise Customers (Prof/Analyzer license) allowed to use all these Extension objects?

Yes. The extensions are the visualization part of QGA. You may want to explore the possibilities with the geoanalytic operations of QGA connector: Qlik GeoAnalytics Connector

Or do they come with an extra license called "QGA Enterprise"?

QGA Enterprise is the on-premise offering, QGA Base uses map servers in the Qlik cloud. QGA Enterprise allows the user to install an own on-premise map server behind firewalls. Suitable for clients without internet connection or with a policy not to use cloud services.

If included, in which cases the customer should still use the Qlik Sense Default Map object?

Please see the bullet points in my previous reply.

Thanks,

Patric

Hi Patric!

Thanks for your reply! Now things are clear!

Basically as of Qlik Sense April 2018 Release a customer now has 2 options (new Default Map Object vs. QGA Base), which both have their advantages/disadvantages.
