Go to Lat/Long or Upload Points

MattShetzer — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:31:12 GMT

Has anyone seen a tool that would enable the user to enter in a lat/long and zoom to that location?
or
Can a user upload a CSV or similar file and place these points in the current map with labels and symbology.

Thanks for your help,
Matt Shetzer

Matt,
There is a Coordinate Menu widget in the Code Gallery that allows you to zoom to a (1 at a time) x,y coordinate - this can be projected or geographic. Out of the box, this widget does not allow for bulk loading (CSV) of coordinates.

I have modified the out of the box widget (LocateWidget, not CoordinateWidget), it was a little limited in that the coordinates needed to be in decimal degrees, I have modified it to accept decimal degrees, degress decimal minutes, or degrees minutes seconds, the address search function remains unchanged and relies on the xml file you use just like the current LocateWidget.

For the CSV question, I too have been interested in bringing in CSV text. I know of two ways...
1. create and event layer using GIS Descktop and post that to your ArcGIS server to serve as an operational layer.

or 2. Use ArgGIS Explorer online map, add the CSV to that, and your other operational layers as well, then use that map in your flex application.

I agree a simple widget would be better, much like th GeoRSS widget, the CSV would need to be posted on a website I think though.

Here's a link to my modified LocateWidget in the code gallery:

Thanks for the tips. I'll try the updated locate widget. I'll keep an eye out for a upload CSV widget.

Hi,

For CSV data, is it possible to build from this widget "Map Your Point Data"?
