New map Viewer and Line Labels

[WardMitchell2]

Hello All,

I see that there have been some recent updates to the new make viewer. One of those being the labels associated with line work. The amount of labels per line has been greatly reduced (thankfully). The issue now appears that the labels do not move when you zoom in and out. In my case I am referring to road names . Roads tend to be long and have the label "sit" in one spot doesn't help the user know where they are at when zooming around in a map. I have only noticed it so far in the AGOL webmaps I have not tried the new line work labeling in a webmap application yet. I'm I missing something?

And the status of this one now? Doesn't seem to be in Enterprise 11.1.

Simple line label positions of on/above/below seems like a fairly fundamental mapping requirement.

I would like to also ask when this is planned, it's frustrating that I am unable to set labels to run parallel to street centerlines, for example.

We are looking into this. The current plan is to support above and below along placements. Feel free to share any example maps you have.

Thanks!

@RussRoberts, can you provide an update for this? This would be very beneficial if it was implemented.

Additional placement options are still on our road map to add to Map Viewer but I don't have a release date. We have a ticket that can be tracked ENH-000130376

I just want to add my support for this enhancement and hope that it is released soon. Labeling above or below a long is a basic functionality that I am always surprised has not yet been added to the new map viewer. 

Once added, It will greatly increase map legibility. Context for the example attached: attempting to create a map that shows users where benches are along a trail network. My end goal is to have a web map set up that users can print their own park maps, this is currently not an option due to the lack of label options.

This is planned for the upcoming release of Online.

amazing news! do we have a date for that release?

thanks!

[RussRoberts]

Yup! We are aiming for end of June which can be subject to change but is the current plan.

Thank you Russ! I'll keep an eye out for the release date 🎉
