Automatically Display Coordinates of Mouse Position on Map

CameronLacelle

Is there a way you can get the coordinates of the cursor to automatically display as the user hovers their mouse around the map area?

I embedded the coordinates widget so a user can place a point on the map and get its coordinates, however our current corporate GIS viewer has a text box in the top right corner of the map that displays the coordinates of the cursor's current position without a click so it dynamically changes as you move your mouse over the map screen. If possible, I'd like to replicate this feature in EB.

The default behavior of the OOTB ExB Coordinates widget works this way:

If you place a pin, then the number stays for copy functionality.

The only exception is that certain WKIDs do not get values from mouse hover, so the coordinate values can only be obtained from a pin drop.

it depends on the coordinate system wkid that is used for the basemap. it will show coordinates while hoovering when you also add the same wkid to the widget.

update: but is it not working for all. i.e. I used a luxembourg webservice (esri lux) as basemap but still need to add a pin to get the coordiantes. while using a rd new (esri nl) basemap it went well.

hover coordinates does not work for UTM 17N (and I assume other UTM as well)

I tried 4326 and it works fine on mouse hovering

Hi,

If you can verify that the Widget works with WKID 4326, that will be very appreciated. I'm trying it to work with WKID 4326 but it only works with placing the pin.

Regards.

Thank you for the info. Much appreciated
