WAB Directions widget shows coordinates instead of address

JeffPace — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 07:03:46 GMT

WAB in Portal 10.5.1 is still showing coordinates instead of addresses in 10.5.1 (10.5.1 server routing service also) when using a local geocode service

It also displays mixed coordinates, web mercator sometimes, lat/long other times

The actual reversegeocode results for these two points contained a valid address.

{"address":{"Street":"611 13TH AVE E","City":"BRADENTON","ZIP":"34208","Match_addr":"611 13TH AVE E, BRADENTON, 34208"},"location":{"x":-9190285.6009550039,"y":3184609.8380619353,"spatialReference":{"wkid":102100,"latestWkid":3857}}}

The app is publicly facing
ArcGIS Web Application 

any ideas?

Have you re-projected the routing and locator source layers to web mercator or are all in state plane?

The source data is still state plane

My apologies, I just checked and I did account for that in my 3.21 api. Yes, I still do get that same behavior when I use my local streets locator service at 3.21, although I do not get a mix of lat/lon and WM coords. I believe that's where using re-projected source layers helped.

But the only way I could ever get the interactive tool to display the addresses is to use the esri locator. My workaround is to use the esri locator and my local NA service. Obviously that works but is not ideal. ESRI needs to fix the library.

Yeah this is in WAB so its just the routing service link. Not great.

Changing to native WM did not fix

Right. So in my WABs here's what I get when I use the world geocode server with my local route NA service:

I get the same results whether I use esri routing or my routing - notice the address ranges. It's how my local streets locator is not defined / parameterized like esri's, you know?

Yes i get the same when i use the world geocode service. However we want to use our own local streets, since routing is often done by inspectors at new construction.

Hi Jeff,

When we tested your locator service in the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, we get the same result:

So we suspect that perhaps something's not quite configured correctly in your custom locator and it's not an issue with the Directions widget.

Hope this helps,

Re: WAB Directions widget shows coordinates instead of address

JeffPace — Fri, 04 Aug 2017 15:20:52 GMT

But it should show the address, not the coordinates

Hi Jeff,

The Map Viewer Directions functionality works the same as the Web AppBuilder Directions widget - both are based on the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Since they are both yielding the same result, we think that something's not configured correctly with the locator service.

Hope this helps,

No they arent. In my jsapi app, using the same routing service, the results look like

Sorry Jeff, I'm not sure what the issue is.

Can you please open an issue with Esri Tech Support so they can investigate further?

Derek Law‌ I believe it is a problem with the Directions widget itself, or a new parameter it requires. Here is a jsbin

JS Bin - Collaborative JavaScript Debugging

If you toggle the locators, you can see that the ESRI locator produces addresses, the local locator produces coordinates

So this is what i notice. When I use the ESRI geocoder, the result is of the reverse geocode is

{  "address": {   "Match_addr": "1301 6th Ave W, Bradenton, Florida, 34205",   "LongLabel": "1301 6th Ave W, Bradenton, FL, 34205, USA",   "ShortLabel": "1301 6th Ave W",   "Addr_type": "PointAddress",   "Type": "",   "PlaceName": "",   "AddNum": "1301",   "Address": "1301 6th Ave W",   "Block": "",   "Sector": "",   "Neighborhood": "Downtown Bradenton",   "District": "",   "City": "Bradenton",   "MetroArea": "",   "Subregion": "Manatee",   "Region": "Florida",   "Territory": "",   "Postal": "34205",   "PostalExt": "",   "CountryCode": "USA"  },  "location": {   "x": -9192178.327651022,   "y": 3185346.6512340987,   "spatialReference": {    "wkid": 102100,    "latestWkid": 3857   }  } }

But the result of the reverse geocode from my local geocoder is

{  "address": {   "Street": "410 8TH ST W",   "City": "BRADENTON",   "ZIP": "34205",   "Match_addr": "410 8TH ST W, BRADENTON, 34205"  },  "location": {   "x": -9191661.5173121095,   "y": 3185587.8277426539,   "spatialReference": {    "wkid": 102100,    "latestWkid": 3857   }  } }
Since the Match_Addr is what is listed in the geocode results using ESRI


I would expect the same from a local geocoder.

DavidColey — Fri, 04 Aug 2017 18:11:24 GMT

I can confirm I get the same results:

{ "address": { "Street": "5504 ASHTON RD", "City": "NCTY", "ZIP": "34233", "Match_addr": "5504 ASHTON RD, NCTY, 34233" }, "location": { "x": -9179416.6356466208, "y": 3158060.4914356801, "spatialReference": { "wkid": 102100, "latestWkid": 3857 } } }‍

I can also confirm that this has been an issue in the api going back to at least 3.14 for the standard US Dual Range Addresses style address locator. I had thought for sure I had posted about this earlier but alas the issue does not show up in anything I have posted....

dlaw-esristaff‌ can you tell me which team to address the support call to?

Re: WAB Directions widget shows coordinates instead of address

JeffPace — Fri, 04 Aug 2017 20:33:04 GMT

Yep here is the old thread

However the JSBin sample shows the problem is back

DerekLaw — Fri, 04 Aug 2017 21:46:40 GMT

Hi Jeff,

Please note in the tech support issue that it should be routed to the Web AppBuilder Dev team. This might be a bug or a needed enhancement in the Directions widget.

Thanks,
Derek
