Jaspersoft Studio - Map Without Zoom and Map Center

[julien.banta]

I am assuming that the map component of Jaspersoft Studio is creating a google static maps url string and sending that to Google, then is returned an image. As such, a static map url with markers but no zoom level or center will use Google's back end code to auto center and zoom the image returned with the markers present.

I would like to utilize this instead of having to create the formulas myself to try and do this since my map will have a random number of markers, at random locations on the globe.

When I try to compile a jrxml in JasperStudio that doesn't have a zoom or a default Latitude and Longitude, I receive a JRValidationException. Is there any way to get around this exception so that the .jrxml can be compiled into a .jasper file? Also, this would be nice if it could be included as a setting.
 

Thanks,
Julien

The Google maps component uses the Google Maps API and create interactive maps, it does not return an image, I remember we used a while back report scriptlets to use the maps API I'll see if I can dig that information for you
