Google Map : Zoom, Drag in, Label

Hi,

Is it possible to get the features like zoom in, drag in the map and label inside map.

I know we can zoom in the map, but is it possible to have a zoom bar, draggin in the map and label like in maps.google.com.

Hi,

If you want you could try out Idevio Maps as an alternative to Google Maps, it has all the features you ask for and much more:

  • Fast map with dynamic zoom and pan.
  • Client side rendering, handles thousands of objects with ease.
  • Plug and play, easy to setup and configure.
  • Local hosting possible, clients with demands can host the map server
  • World coverage, street level for many areas.

IdevioMaps are available to Qlikview 10 and 11 as an extension object.

Visit www.idevio.com for more info and demos (logon on with demo demo).

Hi All,

GIS/Maps Analytics in QlikView is a very interesting Topic indeed but there are many technical limitations in using Google Maps (GMaps) to display QlikView KPI indicators. Indeed, you cannot display several indicators at the same time and on the same map (background + foreground indicators), you are also limited to bubbles and therefore cannot display pie/bar charts nor "real" heat maps. On top of that, you cannot display QlikView KPIs on specific Sales/Business Areas with GMaps such as the Bricks in the Pharmaceutical sector (Brick = aggregation of zipcodes). Finally, the drill-down, pan and selection capabilities of GMaps in QlikView are quite limited.

Moreover, there are also a few "commercial" aspects to be considered since many QlikView customers & channel partners use GMaps API "FREE" Key inside their QlikView server or rich client without complying with GMaps license terms...Indeed, for "professional internal use" (intranet, extranet or internet with username/password authentication to QlikView application), you must buy GMaps API "Premier" which costs about 10,000 $ USD per year or 8,500 euros per year + possible extra fees depending upon the total number of daily hits.

A few alternatives exist such as Open Street Map (totally FREE) or other WMS/TMS services. I suggest you to have a look at our new mapping extension for QlikView 11 SR1 namely "GeoQlik v11.6":

Please find hereafter a few screenshots of GeoQlik V11.6 using WMS/TMS services to display QlikView KPIs:
