Hi everyone,
The demand for mapping in QlikView seems to be a hot topic these days, so I’ve put together two extensions that are now available on QlikMarket bearing the QlikView name.
The first one is an extension which uses SVG images to connect to the data and color and shade the regions in that image:
brianwmunz/svgReader-QV11 · GitHub
Similar to this map of US Counties:
There’s no geospatial connection here (long/lat points can’t be plotted, etc.), but it should prove useful for a lot of simple needs and uses for visualization of a geographical entity. It comes prepackaged with 35 or so maps of countries, etc. and also offers the ability to load in your own custom SVGs for things like floor plans, seating charts, etc.
The second extension is a simple geospatial mapping extension similar to the Google Maps and various other extensions you might have seen in community:
brianwmunz/QuickMap-QV11 · GitHub
This extension simply takes geographic data (longitude/latitude points) from QlikView and draws it over a map. It supports the drawing of dots, lines, or polygon shapes. For example:
This doesn’t offer near the capabilities of a server based geospatial mapping solution like ESRI, GeoQlik, Idevio, etc. simply because it’s not server side, but it should be helpful for less heavy and complex mapping needs.
Anyway, I hear a lot about need for mapping so I thought I’d let everyone know.
It seems to be that the $.ajax call to load the svg file is not working (locally) with the QlikView Desktop version. It runs on the QlikView Server without a problem..

Hi Brian,
in the actual version on QlikMarket is a wrong reference in line 3 of Script,js:
Qva.LoadScript("/QvAjaxZfc/../qlikmap/jquery.js
This could be a problem for older QlikView versions because jquery.js will not be loaded.

Hi,
I am trying to do something similar for Ireland, but don't have a clue how to get started.
Do you know of any material that could help me get started with this?
Thanks
Hi Alen
You need something like this?
A resum of the idea :
- First al all you need to find an svg map about Ireland counties (I suggest you to look in Wikipedia)
- Next you need to identify the id's of each poligon and let it match with your data model
- You also need to modify some files to let the extension include ireland, I think there is a readme file to help you how to introduce the changes
I have the solution for this case but don't know how to send you.
If you let me know your mail I'll send you an example.
Regards
Hi All,
I get below error, when I tried to open demo from http://market.qlik.com/qlikview-svg-map.html.
Can you guide me, how to resolve this . . .
Thanks
has this been resolved by anyone?
Anyone else had any problems with this extension object in Version 11.2 SR2? Mine appears to have stopped working,

You mean for the SVG map? I haven't seen a problem related to 11.2 SR2 as much as IE10. Either way, I'm working on trying to fix.
