Using ArcGIS JavaScript API 3.19 I am trying to do a bulk reverse geocoding like var locator = new Locator ( " http://dummydomain:6080/arcgis/rest/services/TestGeocoder/GeocodeServer " ) ; map . on ( "load" , function ( evt ) { var points = [ { "x" : - 83.000369 , "y" : 40.055185 } , { "x" : - 83.000031 , "y" : 40.051250 } ] ; locator . outSpatialReference = map . spatialReference ; var options = { addresses : points } ; locator . locationToAddress ( options ) ; } ) ; I am not getting any error on page but the map screen looks empty! can you please let me know what I am doing wrong? and how I can export the points address to console? Thanks

Bengi,

In your code you are using:

webMercatorUtils<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">webMercatorToGeographic</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">-</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">83.000369</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">40.055185</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

webMercatorUtils.webMercatorToGeographic is expecting a geometry, not a string and for that matter you are providing a lat lon so it is already geographic. So there is no need to use webMercatorUtils.webMercatorToGeographic. You need to use something like:

locator.locationToAddress(new Point(-83.000369,40.055185, new SpatialReference({ wkid: 4326 })), 100);‍<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Thanks Again Robert,

Just one final question

As you said the locator is functioning now but when I try to get the address like this

locator<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">locationToAddress</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="keyword token">new</SPAN> <SPAN class="token class-name">Point</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">-</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">83.000369</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">40.055185</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">new</SPAN> <SPAN class="token class-name">SpatialReference</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">{</SPAN> wkid<SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN> <SPAN class="number token">4326</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">}</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="number token">100</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN>
console<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">info</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>locator<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>address<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Street<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN>
console<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">info</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>locator<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Street<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

I am just getting undefined in return! isn't it the address available through the locator object?

Thanks for reply Robert,

The promise all looks very complicated! In order to get a better understanding, can you please let me know why this code also not working?!

<SPAN class="token function">$</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'#locator'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">on</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"click"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">function</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">{</SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; locator<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>outSpatialReference <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> map<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>spatialReference<SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; locator<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">locationToAddress</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>webMercatorUtils<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">webMercatorToGeographic</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">-</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">83.000369</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">40.055185</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="number token">100</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN>

As you can see I am only passing X and Y of one single location to locationToAdress()! and in return I am getting this error

Bengi,

There is no bulk reverse geocoding ability. The method is locationToAddress (singular not plural). The best you can do is use a promise all.
