Navigate to another mashups by clicking on markers on Google Map widget.

[bkanipakam-2]

Hello all,

I am trying to work with the Google map widget. I have 20 locations(say Loc_1- Loc_20). Out of 20locations I am pointing 10 in my map to showcase some emergency alerts. I have 20 mashups (mashup1-mashup20) as well for the corresponding locations data. I am able to redirect to the mashup by clicking on the marker on the map.

So, I am facing an issue here. When i am clicking on any marker its redirecting to the same mashup. I am wondering How we can actually bind the location to respective mashup(example: Loc_1 to Mashup1, Loc2 to Mashup2................etc). so that if i click on loc1 it should redirect to mashup1 & if i click on loc2 it should redirect to mashup2.

Please advice.

Thanks and Regards,

Babu Yogesh,

Hello Ankit,

Thanks for your reply. Your have made my job much easier. But can you please tell me from where we can get the QueryDataTableEntries. ​I am not able to find the service you have mentioned.

Babu,QueryDataTableEntries is a default service for the Data Table entities. You should find it in any entity created inheriting the Data Table Thing Template.

Hello Ankit,

I have created a DataTable using the DataShape and I have mapped to the mashup as you have mentioned in your blog.But I am not able to see my pointers in the mashup.

My service gives the following result.

I am using late-long to point the location, yellow/red to vary the color of the pointer and home 1004... represents the unique id of each(say primary key) and as known mashup name is for redirecting mashups. If possible can you give me an idea how to proceed further.

Is the ShowMarkers property true in the Google map widget?

[bkanipakam-2]

Ankit,

The following are the mappings I have done. Please correct me if I am wrong. I have a Thing called H_Details in which I have written a service that gives the result which I have mentioned in earlier post. And I have a question here, How data will be coming to the DataTable if we just use the DataShape in the configuration of the DataTable. How the data will be fed to the DataTable, if we are not giving any input.  As per my understanding, If we map a service output(All data) to the google map then it will display the pointers if we invoked the service. Is it possible to get the data to the DataTable without invoking the service?

Previously I have mapped the above service output to the GoogleMap and then I can see the pointers as shown in the first post. Using the double click option I used to redirect to a mashup using the navigator widget.

Please suggest.

Best Regards,

Yogesh,

Hi babu yogesh kanipakam​,

Did you select the "Mashup Loaded?" option while adding the Service which gives to make sure the service is called when the Mashup is loaded to be fed to the Google Map? You can simply check this by adding a grid to your mashup to see if the grid shows all the data on Mashup load.

In my example; I am reading data from the DataTable entity. If you already have a service which has location and Mashup data; you can skip steps 1 to 3 and use your own service instead of QueryDataTableEntries service.

Hello All,

I have done the mashup that will redirect to the other links(to other web pages as well like www.google.com/facebook.com/thingworx.com) with your help.

Now, Is it possible to add a search bar to the Mashup? Like If I want to highlight all red pointers in a map by entering text red in the text widget(or any other widget is also fine), and yellow pointers highlighted When i enter the yellow in the search bar.

And If I enter any one of my field value mentioned above in the service output, it should highlight the pointer. For example, if I enter 1008 it should highlight the pointer in that corresponding location.
