Hello,
I'm trying to filter esri's geocoder for a specific country. I've had some success, but nothing works extremely well. I would have thought simply adding sourceCountry = "xyz" to the parameters of the arcgisGeocoder would work, but I couldn't get it to zoom correctly. here are the three versions I've found:
1. attach a condition to the URL
2. go with no filter
3. use suffix = ", USA"
I'm attaching a code snippet as well below of these.
I'm wondering: Has anyone found a better way to filter the autocomplete options and have the map zoom to the correct coordinates?
//1. this one works okay, but the autofill is much slower than the others
var myGeocoders = [{
url: "http://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer?sourceCountry=USA",
name: "EsriWorldLocator",
placeholder: "Find a place",
autoComplete: true,
singleLineFieldName: "SingleLine"
}];
var geocoder = new Geocoder ({
map: map,
arcgisGeocoder: false,
geocoders: myGeocoders
}, dom.byId("search")
);
geocoder.autoComplete = true;
//2. This is the original, no filter
var geocoder = new Geocoder({
arcgisGeocoder: {
placeholder: "Find a place"
},
autoComplete: true,
map: map
}, dom.byId("search")
);
//3. This one has a great autocomplete, but it zooms to a seemingly random location
var geocoder = new Geocoder({
arcgisGeocoder: {
//sourceCountry: "USA",
suffix: ", USA",
placeholder: "Find a place"
},
autoComplete: true,
autoNavigate: true,
map: map
}, dom.byId("search")
);
