How to Add Marker Tooltips and Hyperlinks to Google Map Component

There are two ways to make the Google map marker tooltip and hyperlinks work with JasperReports.

You can either use "title" and "url", or infowindow with href embedded, to provide tooltips and hyperlinks for map markers.

The following chart properties show the code to use "title" and "url":

<mp:map xmlns:mp="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports/components"..........>
    ..........
    <mp:markerData>
        ..........
        <mp:item>
            ..........
            <mp:itemProperty name="title">
                <valueExpression>
                    <![CDATA[$F{markername}+"\nlatitude:"+$F{latitude}+"\nlongitude:"+$F{longitude}]]>
                </valueExpression>
            </mp:itemProperty>
            <mp:itemProperty name="url">
                <valueExpression>
                    <![CDATA[$F{url}]]>
                </valueExpression>
            </mp:itemProperty>
            <mp:itemProperty name="target">
                <valueExpression>
                    <![CDATA["_blank"]]>
                </valueExpression>
            </mp:itemProperty>
        </mp:item>
    </mp:markerData>
</mp:map>

The following chart properties show the code to use infowindow:

<mp:map xmlns:mp="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports/components"..........>
    ..........
    <mp:markerData>
        ..........
        <mp:item>
            ..........
            <mp:itemProperty name="infowindow.content">
                <valueExpression>
                    <![CDATA["<pstyle='text-align:left;'><a href="+$F{url}+"target=_blank><b>"+$F{markername}+"</b></a><br/>latitude:<b>"+$F{latitude}+"</b><br/>longitude:<b>"+$F{longitude}+"</b></p>"]]>
                </valueExpression>
            </mp:itemProperty>
        </mp:item>
    </mp:markerData>
</mp:map>
