End-user of one of my apps has complained that in the Search widget - ArcGIS World Geocoding Service, it's incredibly annoying that he cannot search for a coordinate location with LAT LONG, and then every time he pastes LONG LAT, he gets brought to some random location in the world, which is not what he wants.
I see this article https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/configure-locator-organization to create a Locator View Portal Item on ArcGIS Online, but this option is not available in my Enterprise environment. Clicking New Item > Locator > immediately prompts us to enter the URL; there is no page or option to select Locator View. Enterprise version is 11.3. What gives?
Hi @DanCopKac ,
If you are using the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service locator, it should accept both LONG LAT and LAT LONG. From my testing, both return the correct result.
By creating a locator view, you can refine the coordinate types you want. I can create a new locator view in an Enterprise 11.3 environment, please get in touch with our Support team if you cannot do this in your environment.
Thanks,
Shengdi
