I want to implement a map to show UK sales, it needs to have the ability to scroll and zoom.
I've managed to get Google maps working to do this, but have found it slow and cumbersome with no ability to zoom and no scroll bars (this may be easily changed but I haven't figured out so far).
I have seen there are some alternatives to Google maps; Idevio & GeoQlik, and am wondering what are the pros and cons of these and Google.
As a late answer to your question I want to provide you with information about Idevio Maps. In short the advantages of idevio Maps are:
Fast map with dynamic zoom and pan.
Client side rendering, handles thousands of objects with ease.
Displays regions, lines, diagrams and symbols.
Easy to setup and configure.
Extendable, the extension serves as a starting point.
World coverage, street level for many areas (OpenStreetMap)
The map solution is very well suited to be hosted by the end client organisation, our servers run on any Java application server and because of the vector streaming have very mild requirements on CPU, memory, hard disk and bandwidth. For a visual experience please take a look at our QlikView demo at: www.idevio.com/demo (user name: 'demo', pass word:'demo') or contact us for a personal demo: marketing@idevio.com
Hello everybody, this post has been very popular for a reason and that reason is that we do like to see our data on maps. When we get asked to advise on mapping solutions we simply ask these questions:
We ask a client if they need: Two dimensional (Long and Lat) maps,(on or offline) or three dimensional ie geospatial (Long Lat and 'Altitude') maps.
Geospatial tools are in widespread use at client sides and up until now integration with QlikView has not been available.
This last week we saw Esri integrated into QlikView for Energy & Utility sector use. Very soon this integration will be generally available and we will then see a change to how maps are used. These are particulalry exciting when considering GPS enabled recording/tracking as well.
Im really new to QV and dont really know where to start. I have a huge list of UK customers in a qvd (which also has their corresponding Longtitude and Latitude co-ords). All I need to do is show the customer densities by area on a UK map.
This would probably be quite easy - but i have no idea where to start.
Hope you can share any information to get me started in the right direction?
If you can live without Qlikview features, Batchgeo is the absolute most user friendly, you can hardly do it wrong, you alomost finish before you start. On the other hand I thinkthe possibilties is limited.
