Is the Near Me widget still available?

[MaryHannah]

Hi! I am configuring an app using Experience Builder and had planned to use the Near Me widget to allow users to identify features within a certain distance of a point on the map. However, I can't find this widget where I'd expected -- within the insert widget side panel under map centric widgets.

Do I need to enable something for the Near Me widget option to appear? Or, is it a feature that must be included specifically in my organization's license? Or, is it just a feature that ESRI is no longer supporting within Experience Builder?

Thanks in advance!

It all depends on the version you're running:

AGOL has it, as well as the built-in version native to Enterprise 11.3. If you are on an earlier version of Enterprise or are using the Developer Edition of ExB and haven't upgraded far enough, you wont have it yet.

Near Me is still around. If you don't see it, it's likely that you are using a version of ArcGIS Enterprise older than 11.3 (the most recent version of Enterprise at this time), which is the first version with this widget.

We have a few web apps that rely on the Near Me widget  (from WAB Enterprise at least as far back as 10.7.1 or earlier).  To this day, there is still no parity with WAB, yet you are going to remove WAB before that parity is available (at 11.5)?  We were hoping you would have this parity long before now (like when Experience Builder was first released, many years ago).  It would now seem that we have yet another problem with upgrading!  We are still stuck in 10.9.1!  This is not the way to win especially long term customers' confidence!
