Qlik Sense Map with Background Image - Data Preparation

[amitray]

I am working on a report where I have to prepare a map chart something similar to : https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Visualizations/Map/map-b....

However, I am finding it difficult to prepare latitude/longitude data for my image. Could you please help suggesting an efficient and ideal way how the lat-long data could be generated for an image?

Thanks.

Hi @amitray 

I know this is an old post, but perhaps this can help other people to. 

I also had difficulties setting the latitude/longitude parameters on my layer background image. 
This worked for me: 

Imagine your image is 1500px width & 700px height you need to fill in the fields like this: 

• Set the Top left corner
  • Top (latitude) : 700
  • Left (longitude) : 0
• Set the Bottom right corner
  • Bottom (latitude) : 0
  • Right (longitude) : 1500
    

Just keep in mind (that is the reason why I tought it didn't work) you need to put another layer on the screen (point / area layer) actually see the image. 

Hope this helps other people to!

I ran into the same challenge and decided to publish a full guide:
