Map and proxy

Get Help
1

Hi,

I’m trying to use maps but I can’t load the open street map url.
I am using a proxy and the jar file and here is how I’ve tried to launch metabase :
java –Dhttp.proxyHost=MyUrlProxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=8095 -jar metabase.jar

Thanks in advance

Hi @Livier
You need to set the https proxy:

java –Dhttps.proxyHost=MyUrlProxy -Dhttps.proxyPort=8095 -jar metabase.jar

Thanks for your answer.
now when I try to load/add a map, I get this message :

Unable to parse resource at URL https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=11/-21.1341/55.5379 as JSON

To get this error :

  1. Admin > Maps
  2. Add a map
  3. Custom Maps --> Add a map
  4. URL for the GeoJSON file you want to use : OpenStreetMap
  5. Load

I'd like to use the map of La Reunion. I may be wrong in the way I try to do it

@Livier But that isn’t a GeoJSON file.
I would recommend that you read this:
https://www.metabase.com/blog/map-visualization/index.html

I thought that I could use maps on OpenStreetMap to visualize my data.
Could you please tell me how can I get a GeoJSON file to add a custom map ?

@Livier Please read the article. There’s two types of maps - there’s Pin maps, which uses OSM already by default, and Region maps, which uses GeoJSON.

Thank you.
