Near Me Widget - why no wfs/wms/geojson/georss

JessNewton1 — Tue, 13 May 2025 06:49:32 GMT

Hi,

Just wanted to ask why the NearMe widget doesnt work for aything other than Feature Services?? eg it doesnt work for WFS, WMS, GeoRSS, GeoJson etc etc. Trying to build an application where we source data from multiple organisations, we have no control over the format. The option to save the layers and publish as a feature service ourselves is not an option. We also cant build or use custom widgets because of our IT security. We are also using an Enterprise deployment if that makes a difference.

I just want to understand why they cant be available in NearMe and or if there are any brilliant workarounds.

Cheers,

Jess

Hi @JessNewton1 there is currently an existing enhancement request ENH-000173647 for the Near Me widget to support OGC services. I understand it's under consideration just now.

@Hi @PeterHodkinson, great to hear that this has been recognised as a potential enhancement. Do you know if here has been any progress on this recently? Thanks
