Version 21.1 of APEX has recently been released and contains some great new features/improvements. I decided to take a closer look, starting with the new native map component.

This is a brand-new built-in feature of APEX that uses Oracles eLocation Service, allowing maps to be added to an application without the need to use third-party solutions or plugins. This means adding a map to an [APEX application](https://www.dsp.co.uk/oracle-apex-application-development?hsLang=en-gb) is very quick and easy to achieve. Plus, you don’t need to use API keys and it’s FREE!

The map region supports a good range of features and customisations.

- Choice of several background maps such as OpenStreetMap and Open World Map.
- Support for three geometry types, Longitude/Latitude, SDO_GEOMETRY and GeoJSON.
- The data source can be a local table or a REST.
- Multiple layers that can be toggled on/off.
- Layers can be points, lines, heat maps, polygons, or extruded polygons.
- Support for dynamic actions such as clicking on a pointer or map location.
- Zoom, scale and Compass options.
- Overview map.
- Circle and distance tools.
- Mouse wheel support.
- New APEX icon types.

To add a map to your application you can either use the wizard to add one as a new page or add one manually to an existing page using the new map region type.

Let’s take a look at adding a new map page using the wizard, but before we start, don’t forget to use the built-in APEX help when learning how a new feature works. For example, if you want to know about the different map backgrounds available, click on the relevant attribute and display the help.

[![help](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/help.jpg?width=569&name=help.jpg)](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hubfs/help.jpg)

### Adding a new Map page via the wizard

I am going to add a new map page to my application to display the DSP office locations using latitude and longitude coordinates held in a local offices table.

1. The **Create a Page** wizard has a new **Map** type, select this option and specify the page name and number.
2. The data source can be a local database or a REST source. For my example, I will be using the **Local Database** option and a table called DSP_OFFICES.  
   [![create_page](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/create_page.jpg?width=787&name=create_page.jpg)](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hubfs/create_page.jpg)
3. Next, I need to specify the spatial geometry type and source. In this example, I am selecting **Points** to show office locations, which will be plotted using **Latitude** and **Longitude** values held for each row. *The Maps also support the use of the SDO_GEOMETRY object type.*  
   [![create_page_2](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/create_page_2.jpg?width=968&name=create_page_2.jpg)](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hubfs/create_page_2.jpg)

Once I press **Create** the new page is created and runs with the default settings to show the locations of the offices on the map.

[![Initial_Map](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Initial_Map.jpg?width=1435&name=Initial_Map.jpg)](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hubfs/Initial_Map.jpg)

### Map Region Attributes

There are multiple attributes available for customising the map region, such as.

| Map Background | This changes the background map. There are currently five options to choose from. |
| --- | --- |
| Navigation Bar | Option to include a zoom and compass buttons |
| Mousewheel Zoom | Zoom in or out by using the mouse wheel |
| Rectangle Zoom | Zoom the map to an area by drawing a rectangle onto the map |
| Scale Bar | Display a scale bar on the map |
| Overview Map | Display an overview map in the lower right |
| Infinite Map | Infinite map scrolling |
| Circle Tool | The Circle Tool allows end-users to draw a circle onto the map. When finished, an event is triggered, so that the circle can be processed by Dynamic Actions or JavaScript code |
| Distance Tool | Allows end-users to measure distances between points on the map |
| Legend | Include a legend for the map layers, with the option to toggle on/off |
| Units | Switch between Metric and Imperial |

.

### Layer Attributes

In addition to the region attributes, there are additional attributes for each layer that allow further customisation, such as.

| Layer Type | Type of layer, Points, Lines, Polygons, Heat Map or Extruded Polygons |
| --- | --- |
| Icon Source | Set the icon for a layer to a fixed source or column in the layer data source |
| Appearance | Set the Colour and Opacity |
| Point Clustering | Toggle on/off clustering of co-located points on the map |
| Tooltip | Set data and formatting of the information displayed when hovering over an object |
| Link | Set a link for an object. e.g. Open a page, application, or URL |
| Into Window | Set the details of a popup to be displayed when an object is clicked (*When not using a link*) |
| Zoom Levels | Set the minimum and maximum zoom levels (1-18) to display the layer |
| Legend | Set the layer to be included/excluded in the legend and if user can toggle on/off |

 

### Customising my map page

I am now going to use some of the available region and layer attributes to customise my map of the DSP Offices.

*Region Attribute Settings*

| **Map** |  |
| --- | --- |
| Background | Custom |
| Standard | OpenStreetMap Bright |
| Height | 700 |
| **Controls** |  |
| Navigation Bar | Zoom and Compass |
| Mousewheel Zoom | On |
| Rectangle Zoom | On |
| Scale Bar | On |
| Overview Map | On |
| Circle Tool | On |
| Distance Tool | On |

 

*Layer Attribute Settings*

| **Identification** |  |
| --- | --- |
| Label | DSP Offices |
| **Point Object** |  |
| Style | Icon |
| Icon Source | Icon Class |
| Icon | fa-map-marker-shine fa-3x |
| **Appearance** |  |
| Fill Colour | #5F237E |
| Fill Opacity | 0.7 |
| **Tooltip** |  |
| Column | TOWN |
| **Info Window** |  |
| Title Column | OFFICE_NAME |
| Body Column | POSTCODE |
| **Legend** |  |
| Show | On |
| Enable to Hide | On |

 

As you can see, the map looks very different now compared to the initial version.

[![Customised_Map](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Customised_Map.jpg?width=1420&name=Customised_Map.jpg)](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hubfs/Customised_Map.jpg)

### Dynamic Actions

There are four new dynamic action events for using with the map region

- Map Changed -   User changes the map view, e.g. zoom in or pans right
- Map Clicked -   User clicks on the map
- Map Initialized -   After the map has loaded
- Map Object Clicked -   User clicks a layer object, e.g. A layer icon is clicked

Let’s look at a simple example of how you can use the map clicked dynamic action. I am going to add a second layer of points to the map which will be added to at runtime by the user.

To do this I will use an APEX Collection to store the latitude and longitude of each map click event, which will be the data source for a second points layer on the map.

1. Add two hidden items to the map region called P10_LAT and P10_LNG to store the latitude/longitude values when the user clicks on any area of the map other than an existing layer object.
2. Add a before header process called **Create Markers Collection**. 
     1. Add PL/SQL to create/truncate a collection called **MARKERS**. **APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_OR_TRUNCATE_COLLECTION('MARKERS');**
3. Add a **Map Clicked [Map]** event dynamic action to the Map region called Store Lat/Long. 
     1. Add a **Set Value** true action using the JavaScript Expression **this.data.lat **to store the longitude value in **P10_LAT**, ensuring it does not fire on initialisation.
     2. Add a second **Set Value** true action using the JavaScript Expression **this.data.lat** to store the longitude value in **P10_LNG**, ensuring it does not fire on initialisation.
4. Add a dynamic action to fire when **P10_LAT** changes called Add Pointer. 
     1. Add a PL/SQL server-side-code true action to add the new latitude/longitude values to the MARKERS collection, ensuing both items are submitted into session and it does not fire on initialisation. **APEX_COLLECTION.ADD_MEMBER(p_collection_name => 'MARKERS' ,                                        ****p_n001 => :P10_LAT,                                                                                                        ****p_n002 => :P10_LNG);**
     2. Add a second **REFRESH** true action to refresh the map region.
5. Add a second layer to the map region to display the markers. 
     1. 1. Right-click on the map region in the rendering tree and select **Create Layer**.
            2. Change the source to SQL Query                                            **SELECT seq_id, n001 lat_val, n002 long_val, 'Custom Marker '||seq_id info                                                                                    **  
               **FROM APEX_COLLECTIONS                                         **  
               **WHERE COLLECTION_NAME = 'MARKERS';**
            3. Set the column mapping to use the latitude / longitude values and SEQ_ID for the primary key.
            4. Set the points object to use an icon class and set the icon to **fa-map-pin-circle **with a colour of **#e70303**.
            5. Set the Tooltip column to **INFO**.

Now when I run the page, each time I click on the map the co-ordinates are recorded and the map refreshed to add the new pin.

[![Add Markers to Map](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Add%20Markers%20to%20Map.jpg?width=1416&name=Add%20Markers%20to%20Map.jpg)](https://content.dsp.co.uk/hubfs/Add%20Markers%20to%20Map.jpg)
