Qlikview Google Map

[dradoikov]

Hello,

Can Qlikview Map to work on a given address, without the longitude and latitude?

Thanks in advance

Did you ever figure this out?

I think it´s a kind of "Must Have"... the right question is "how to get it"!

I'm not sure I understand your question.

If you look at the formulas in the mapping samples, they are all based on longitude and latitude (a/k/a "geocodes").

Google Maps API will look up geocodes for you if you pass it an address, but it still becomes geocodes under the covers...

Hi All,

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

On top of that, 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":
