Inverse geocoding

Question

Hi!

We have a geocoding service on a road feature class and the geocoding works well to locate an adresse but when i try the "Inverse geocoding", if my coordinate is more than 10 km away from any road, I have no return from the service (rest or arcmap).  Any search distance limit on a geocoding service?

Any idea on how to manage the distance?

thank you!

Francis,

There might be a finite limit though the documentation doesn't show a limit.  10km does sound quite a long distance. You may have more luck using a "near" method.

Regards,

Even with a distance... the limit seem to be 10 km.

Even if I write a distance of 100000 meter (100 km) There is no result returned...

I use the Canada style locator.

I will try with the USA locator style...

Francis,

Yes, you can specify a distance parameter to the service.

If you don't specify a distance, it defaults to 100 meters.

Here is a link that might help:
