Hi,
Is there such a thing in ArcGIS Pro as a reverse geocoding tool like the Address Inspector on the geocoding toolbar in ArcMap? My searches haven't found one.
Thanks,
Jeff

Yes, the Explore tool serves as the identify tool in Pro, when the tool is active there is a right click option "What's here" that will reverse gecode the clicked point in the map using your loaded location providers - by default the ArcGIS Online World geocoding service.
Thanks for the reply Bruce.
I have added my locator to my project, I right click and select "What's here" and nothing happens. Am I missing a setting? Or does it show up on a pane that I have hidden? Still can't find anything in the documentation about this functionality.
Bruce Harold Is the result supposed to show up in a pop-up? When I right click and select What's Here, the blue circle spins for a bit then stops and nothing happens. I am able to find addresses by typing them into the locate window, so I know the locator works.
Yes, provided in the Settings for your locate providers you have enabled ArcGIS Online then you will get a popup with the reverse geocode from the World service.
What if I don't want to use the World Geocoding service? I have my own composite locator that I use for assigning addresses. This is the whole reason for me to do reverse geocoding.
I'm having trouble pinpointing the issue, and I'm not able to reproduce it on my end. I think your best option at this point is to contact Tech Support. They can walk through your whole process and get your data and account info, and hopefully we can get everything working for you as expected. I'm sorry I couldn't fully resolve everything on my end. They will definitely be able to help you out, though.
Okay, I'll give tech support a call on Monday.
Thanks for your help.
So it turns out the locators I had in ArcGIS Online were causing the problem with Pro. Those locators were created with 10.2 and are hosted on Server 10.2. Not sure if that is the issue, but I'm going to try creating new locators with 10.3.
In ArcMap, I was able to use the address inspector and hold the mouse down and hover over the map and get instant results returned (from a local locator). I like the UX of the right click the map and 'whats here' but I would also really like to be able to have that same instant feedback. Perhaps an address inspector could be an additional tool?
