using URL parameters (marker, scale or level) with Experience Builder

JulieEdwards — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 10:35:57 GMT

Hello, I am trying to use URL parameters with Experience Builder. All I want to do is use marker and scale or level to add a marker on the map and zoom to it but I'm struggling to understand the instructions and cannot find any examples that help.

This is a simple map, I want to zoom to coordinates 349225, 312799 and place a marker (British National Grid coordinates):

Can anyone advise please?

The best way to find URL Parameters is to use the Share Widget. Get your Map just the way you like it and the link in the Share Widget should include all the data.

Hi @JulieEdwards, Experience Builder URL parameters are documented here: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/experience-builder/latest/build-apps/url-parameters.htm

I had a quick play and the URL below will add a marker at the coordinates you specify above, centre the map on the same coordinates, and set it to a scale of 1:2500:

Hope this helps - Ian.
