Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to reverse geocode lat/long coordinates using the geocoders at my org that we have hosted on our Portal site. These geocoders are all in our local state plane coordinate system.
This is for a project where we will be importing lots of location points from an avl platform that will be in lat/long, so I'm setting up an automation in Make(Integromat), to match these points against an address. Since we will have a lot of points, I'd like to use our geocoders instead of the Esri world geocoder to avoid using a lot of credits.
But our geocoders will only reverse match against coordinates in state plane and not lat long. I've found some old posts that say the geocoder should transform on the fly but from what I can tell this doesn't work. And by that I mean just entering some decimal degree coordinates like '-82.576337, 35.5938221'.
I'm considering creating another locator where I transform our local data in the update process so the locator ends up being WGS84, but this seems redundant. Whats the solution here? I realize the other option is doing a transformation in our automation software, but thats proving to be difficult so I'm looking for a solution on the geocoder side if possible.
