Hi IS there a Go to X Y tool or equivalent in Pro?
We use it every day in 10.3

Peter, I seem to recall that you can type coordinates into the Locate tool (looks like binoculars) - would that get you where you wanted to go (pun intended)?

Hi Jeremy, yes that correct. But I'm perplexed as to why they have changed the function of the binoculars. Now there is no "Find" tool that I'm aware of. It appears we have to do an SQL query instead of this handy search all layers tool?

Unfortunately I'm not the person who designed this function or user experience (my team works on the graphics engine inside Pro) - I was just trying to answer your original question.:)

Take a look at https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/data/geocoding/basics/find-an-address-using-the-locate-pane.h... and hit the "feedback" link if you'd like to comment to the team responsible.

I commonly receive coordinates on forms in DMS format, but need them in DD. In ArcMap, I would just open the Go To XY tool, enter the DMS format, and it would convert it to DD on the fly. Is there not a way to do this in Pro without having to run complicated conversion tools??
