Google map doesn't works anymore

[agigliotti]

Hello,

I'm facing a problem with google map.

below the URL used on colors->frame backgroung->dynamic image:

='https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center='
&
num(var_mid_lat, '##############', '.', ',' )
&
','
&
num(var_mid_long, '##############', '.', ',' )
&
'&zoom=$(var_zoom)'
&
'&maptype='&var_maptype
&
'&size='&map_size_x&'x'&map_size_y
&
'&sensor=false'

Since a while the background image is not showed.

What could be the reason?

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards

Andrea

Hi, i have also noticed this, I think Google has disabled the URL now as it needs to be paid for. 

I now use this instead

='http://geomap.nagvis.org/?module=map&center='
&
num(var_mid_long, '###.######')
&','
&
num(var_mid_lat, '###.######')
&
'&zoom=$(var_zoom)'
&
'&type=mapnik'
&
'&width='&map_size_x&'&height='&map_size_y
&
'&logoPos=rightDownCorner'

 It's not as fast as the googlemaps URL but it works

Thanks for your suggestion but it works bad.
Anyone has a workaorund to show maps within Qlikview object ?

Works bad in what way?

[agigliotti]

I can't see the europe image in the map and also when i zoom to some regions the message "wrong map request" comes up.

That's strange, mine works perfectly, i haven't experienced any problems with the map not showing. 

If you put the expression in a text box and zoom in on the map (so the text box shows the evaluated expression), then right click the text box and copy text and paste into a browser, do you get the map there?

[hopkinsc]

This is what i have, see how that works for you

[agigliotti]

it's a shame but it doesn't works for me.

see below images, the second one comes up after a region selection.
