Calculating new longitude, latitude from old + n meters

GlennErion — Thu, 21 Mar 2019 16:43:23 GMT

I have a known feature with latitude and longitude.

I have as second point defined by x and y offsets in meters from the known position. This second point is within a few KM of the known position.

Is there a better way to do this in ArcGIS Javascript?

Glenn,

absolutely. The JS API Point class has an offset method.

to convert between lat long and meters you can use webMercatorUtils geographictowebmercator method

Where did this move to in 4.X?
