3.2. Setting up Application Project

In order to display maps in your application, you should add the charts application component, as it was described for the chart display add-on. Additionally, you should define the following application properties for the Web Client block:

  • One of the following parameters (see detailed information on these parameters in the Google Maps API documentation):

    • charts.map.apiKey – a browser key.

    • charts.map.clientId – a client ID.

  • Optional parameters:

    • charts.map.defaultZoom – default zoom level for the map.

    • charts.map.defaultLatitude – default latitude of the map center point.

    • charts.map.defaultLongitude – default longitude of the map center point.

    • charts.map.apiVersion – defines a version of Google Maps API that should be used. Default value is 3.35. You can set this property to 3 to use the last released version of Google Maps API or to 3.exp, if you want to use experimental version. Visit the official Google Maps API documentation for more information.

    • charts.map.language - defines language of the map. Should be specified as full language name.

Example of a web-app.properties file:

charts.map.apiKey = my_key
charts.map.defaultZoom = 13.0
charts.map.defaultLatitude = 51.5001
charts.map.defaultLongitude = -0.1262
charts.map.language = english
