Hi everyone,

I am rebuilding an app in experience builder and would like to use the Coordinate Conversion tool to change Irish Grid TM65 Easting and Northings, to Lat and Longs, any advise?

i.e (X) 333836, (Y) 373984

to 54°35.800′N 5°55.783′W

Assuming you use the AGOL version:

From what I can see, it only converts the format. By default the AGOL CRS will be WGS84. The Coordinate Conversion widget can then take inputs as WGS84 lat/long decimal degrees (or any of the following actually) and convert them into degrees and decimal minutes, or degrees minutes and seconds. It also appears to do UTM, which is Easting/Northing, but again only in the WGS84 flavour.

I'm not sure how it behaves if you publish a custom basemap in a different CRS i.e., if the widgets 'take on' this CRS. But the above suggests it doesn't do transformations across different CRS.

The 'Coordinates' widget does allow for transformations - but you can't search by coordinates with it. Only by map clicking. So that's unlikely to be the workflow you're after. 

If you're using the Developer version however then I'm sure it's possibly to build - but that's for someone else...

Hi @KearaMcKay1 The coordinate conversion exb widget is based off of JS API coordinate conversion widget and I wasn't able to do it and I don't think this is designed for such conversions. If you can share your basemap I can test the behavior too for further exploration. thanks!
