Google Maps problem - fixed

[stephencredmond]

Hi,

Google had made changes to the API that stop the OOB demo working. I have posted in the Wiki on how to fix it:

http://community.qlik.com/wikis/qlikview-wiki/fixing-google-maps.aspx

And posted an updated copy of the QVW:

Yes, thanks a lot Stephen. It's working for me very good too.

What about the map type, is it working for you? For me it isn't working to choose between different map types, I just have the standard "roadmap" type.

Hi,

Simple fix.

Just change:

& '.jpg'

to

& '&.jpg'

Hi,

In Qlikview 8.5 we have de same problem , we must to regenerate the google map key at:

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

and ADD the parameter format=jpg , because the aplication show a white image instead the of the map:

='http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center='
&
num(var_mid_lat, '##############', '.', ',' )
&
','
&
num(var_mid_long, '##############', '.', ',' )
&
'&zoom=$(var_zoom)'
&
'&maptype='&var_maptype
&
'&size='&map_size_x&'x'&map_size_y
&
'&key='&gmap_key
&
'&format=jpg'
&
'.jpg'

Hi all,

Do anyone has a successful solution on this in 8.5? The document always show s a while or grey colored box in place of the map when we avvess the document through IE client.
