Google Maps Integration Gone? Anyone else?

[#1]

Is anyone else having trouble with the Google Maps layer disappearing from existing Qlikview applications?  As of today nothing on either desktop or server-hosted Qlikview has a Google map in the background.

We're running Qlikview 11.

I tested the Qlikview-generated URL, which is

http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center=38.097986,-106.0454515&zoom=2&maptype=&size=800x300&key=xx&....

It generates a 403 error with the following documentation:

This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage.

For more information about HTTP errors, see Help

Ours are missing too...  I wonder what's going on.

Same here!

I know they're turning off v2 of the google maps API soon.  Maybe it has something to do with that?  DO you know which version of the API you're running?

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/

As Brian says, it should be related with the API version,

The error message is clear "This web site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/"

May be you should read about this on the API website: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial?hl=en#api_key

I have the same issue, so let me check what is the resolution for this...

Hi noahshlaes,

Google Map API v2 has been deprecated, try with this URL:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=38.097986,-106.0454515&zoom=2&maptype=&size=800...

but you should replace the key 'xx' with a real one, otherwise it doesn't work.

The URL posted by Giada works fine.

Thanks so much!

Hi all,

I have the same problem for two days, and I have made the change posted by giada.

Now it's working my google map is reup, but all my points are not at the good place.

I change only the dynamic pictures like this:

='http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?'

&

num(var_mid_lat, '##############', '.', ',' )

&

','

&

num(var_mid_long, '##############', '.', ',' )

&

'&zoom=$(var_zoom)'

&

'&maptype='&var_maptype

&

'&size='&map_size_x&'x'&map_size_y

&

'&key='&gmap_key

&

'&sensor=false'

&

'&scale='&map_scale

But now all my points are not correctly placed (normaly all points are in Europe) Do you have an idea? On the old map all was correct

Thanks in advance

Hi Bati,

I think you forgot the "center" keywork in the URL, try this:

='http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center='

&

num(var_mid_lat, '##############', '.', ',' )

&

','

&

num(var_mid_long, '##############', '.', ',' )

&

'&zoom=$(var_zoom)'

&

'&maptype='&var_maptype

&

'&size='&map_size_x&'x'&map_size_y

&

'&key='&gmap_key

&

'&sensor=false'

&

'&scale='&map_scale
