OpenStreetMap Extension Object

[rbecher]

This is an extension object which I made out of Alexander Karlsson's Google Map extension:

http://community.qlik.com/message/153412

It uses the CloudMade.com Web API to display OpenStreetMap tiles. This is a first version with marker custers and automate positioning dependend from the data selection. You can zoom and drag inside the map.

The extension needs Lat/Long as dimension and a marker label as expression, as you can see in my demo app. It was tested with QV11.

Any feedback is very welcome!

Caution: I have to mention here that a demo API key is used in the extension. If you realy want to use this in a production environment you should get your own personal API key at: www.cloudmade.com

Update: Alexander and I have improved slightly. Now you can enter the API key in the properties pane and you can switch the markers clustering

This is awesome, thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Still a lot to do, esp. selection of markers inside the map..

Hope there are no such limitations like on Google Maps.

Hi

I followed your instructions, got my API key which I have entered in the parsameters, checked that my address is found in openstreetmap which it is but I dont appear to have the batch file startJSONproxy.bat  Am I missing something?

I downloaded the FourSquareNew.qvw along with the qar file - when I double click the latter I get the message:

"In total 4 files in 1 directories where installed

Extension "CloudMadeWebMaps" installed and ready to use

Description: CloudMadfe Web <aps with Marker

Obviously without the batch file I get a failed to launch startJSONproxy.bat message

Can you help?

Alexis

Hi Alexis,

this thread is only about the extension object which can be used in every QlikView app with lat, long and a decription. If you want to check out the Foursquare app with the JSONproxy I can send you an actual version on Monday.

Just contact me by email: ralf.becher@tiq-solutions.de
