Users came to me with another "make it like Google" request. They click on the Google Maps map, right-click "What's Here" and get a green arrow. Then click the green arrow and they get what they want. A nice arrow and a popup with coordinates in both decimal degrees and DMS. Perfection! The only reason they are even asking for something else is that we'd like to add our own data on top.
As far as I can tell, AGS Explorer has no built in method to do this and I haven't seen a tool for it in the gallery. Anyone have a way to get this functionality, short of coding from the SDK?
Thanks.
Well it's been a while since this question was asked, but here's another, perhaps easier way to get this. Use the built-in measure tool. Open the tool, click on the little globe icon. (The measure tool also measures along a line (ruler) and will allow you to trace a polygon.) Click on your map. The coordinates where you clicked will appear in the add in box.
The values that are returned are in the same units as you've set for your display. You'll get MGRS info if that's the coordinate system you have set for Display. If you wish to save the results, select Add to Map.
