Seen this...  Apparently you have free (limited) key from google, and the number of hits exceeded the allowed limit (per day, I think).

It will work again tomorrow,

Thanks for your Answer.
Do you know the number of hits are allowed per day?

Don't remember the limit, it looked quite large at that time.  I was testing something, and got this error a few times.  Everything worked fine next day.

It was a few years back - now we use mostly Bing maps, no problems since than.  Except Google maps look better, to my taste...

To avoid problems for your customer you could instead use the map extension IdevioMaps for QlikView. High performance and better priced than Google maps Business API (I assume you use the map for a closed app). See IdevioMaps demo at Qlikmarket.

victa001, Go to chart properties of the map, click on Colors tab, under colors tab, decrease the transparency from 100% to 0 %. Hope this helps.

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).

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":
