• Point to point directions
  • Display calculated direction based on origin and destination coordinates and driving mode type (i.e. walking or driving)

Note: extension loggin (console.log) was kept on purpose but is commented

A manual will be developed, but in the meanwhile, here are some tricks while waiting:

• Latitude and Longitude are de dimensions of this chart
• Use Measure 1 to determine the expected number of rows
• If you have an API key from google you can include it in the "Basic Configurations"
• To use custom icons for markers, either use URLs or relative paths to the image. You can include the icon in the extension folder at /lib/images/ and refer only to the filename
• If you want to have multiple and diferent Icons, set the expression that will return the icon path (or filename) in "Markers - Additional Configurations". If done so, the path in the Markers main configurations will be ignored
• Shapes and lines can be grouped by dimension value or calculated expressions
• Colors are all expressions, so you can define a specific color calculated conditions
• Point to point directions are based on given coordinates, passed through variables. You will need to create a variable for origin latitude, origin longitude, destination latitude, destination longitude.
  • Travel mode must be passed as indicated with the following text: DRIVING, BICYCLING, TRANSIT or WALKING. Only one value permited at a time. You can use a variable within QlikView to allow a user iterate by the options.
• IMPORTANT: leave all non-used configurations in blank to guarantee best extension performance.
• IMPORTANT 2: Make sure your calculations are within the range defined in "Measure 1" or performance will be afected. Here is a list of options that must have this tip in account:
  • Basic Configurations -> Measure 1
  • Markers -> Info Window
  • Markers -> Marker Title
  • Markers -> Marker Label
  • Marksers - Additional Configurations -> Icons Path
  • Shapes and Circles -> Shape by
  • Shapes and Circles -> Circle Radius
  • Shapes and Circles -> Info Window
  • Shapes and Circles -> Stroke Calc Color
  • Shapes and Circles -> Fill Calc Color
  • Heatmaps -> Weight
  • Lines -> Group Line by
  • Lines -> Line Calc Color
  • Lines -> Line Weight
