Enhanced Locate Widget

All,

I have released my Enhanced Locate Widget.

This enhanced version allows you to do reverse geocoding and locate coordinates that are in a different WKID than the map. Users can specify additional spatial references for the locate coordinates portion of this widget.

Robert,

Hello, its Tim again (remove login on geoprocessing) you have been very helpful and thanks for all your posts! I am exploring the Enhanced Locate Widget you developed. It works very well! Now I want to change it so that the Latitude is the first box and the Longitude is the second box. I have modified the eLocateWidget.xml to change how the labels appear but the order in the XML does not change the appearance in the dialog box itself. Once I find the code for the dialog box, can I simply change the order they appear without impacting the functionality of the locate?

Tim,

Sure just swap them around in the mxml code (@ line 1497)

Robert,

I have an application that is in WGS84 web mercator. I would like to be able to find locations using a custom coordinate system that is based on GCS_North_American_1927. How would I go about adding this custom system to your great widget?

Thank you!

Adam,

If your map is in that custom coordinate system than just use "map" from the drop down list.

Robert,

The map and all layers are in WGS 84. But I would like to locate using the custom coordinate system. Is this possible?

Thanks again!

Adam,

No that is not possible then. You can only use know WKIDs.
