Clicking in a map and opening an url with coordinates

KaiBehncke — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 07:08:27 GMT

Hi all,

meanwhile I get deeper and deeper in Experience Builder,
but for one thing I haven`t found a solution so far:

Is there a way to click on a map so that automatically an URL opens, that gets coordinates as parameters?

I mean: Mouseklick in the map and then the URL

https://mysite.com?coordinates=7.123,52.123

opens?

Has anybody an idea how to solve that?

Thank you very much in advance, Kai

Kai,

If you want it directly in Experience Builder then you are looking at customization. However, you could try with the newer $userInput profile variable in Arcade in your web map. I've used this to open a google street map viewer in another browser tab. As a user clicks on a roadway, and with some on the fly coordinate conversions, I can ingest the XY response from the $userInput profile variable and construct the URL.

Good luck!
