Coordinate Menu Widget - New !

Drew · ‎02-17-2011

Hello Everyone,
I created a new widget that you might find useful.
Tucked away in the map context menu are three XY operations

   1.     Copy XY
   2.     Project XY (configurable)
   3.     Go To XY

ReadMe.txt included

Hope you find it useful!

An invaluable tool!! I would like to tweak this to be able to launch it from the header bar like all other widgets - would this require more work than it's worth or is this an easy task? Thanks!

philipp,
I hope to update it soon..

Thanks for your interest

I get the following "NaN" in all boxes. Yet I still have Lat / Long being displayed in the bottom left corner of the map. I am using the geometry service that comes default with this widget, if I use my own service or another esri geometry service it says cannot find projection.... Any ideas on what is wrong.

I am using the correct WKID's for my Coordinate systems drop down. And my .mxd was projected to WGS 1984 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere).

UPDATE:

I turned off all basemaps and left only my operational layer, the tool now somewhat works. I think it has to do with my projection of my .mxd and that of ESRI basemaps. Does it Matter that I am using WGS 1984 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere) instead of just WGS 1984 Web Mercator?

One other thing to note is that the Lat/Long still does not show up

Tristan,
Can you post your <coordinateSystems> XML and try the default.

   <coordinateSystems>
  <coordinateSystem name="NAD 1983 UTM Zone 17" wkid="26917" decimals="4"/>
  <coordinateSystem name="NAD 1927 UTM Zone 17" wkid="26717" decimals="4"/>
  <coordinateSystem name="World Mercator" wkid="54004" decimals="4"/>
  <coordinateSystem name="GCS WGS 1984 (Decimal Degrees)" wkid="4326" decimals=""/>
 <!-- <coordinateSystem name="GCS WGS 1984 (Decimal Degrees)" wkid="4326" decimals="2"/> -->
   </coordinateSystems>

Here is my code.

Geographic Coordinate Systems 
 http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/apis/rest/index.html?gcs.html
    -->
   <coordinateSystems>
  <coordinateSystem name="NAD 1983 UTM Zone 10" wkid="26910" decimals="4"/>
  <coordinateSystem name="NAD 1927 UTM Zone 10" wkid="26710" decimals="4"/>
  <coordinateSystem name="Web Mercator" wkid="102101" decimals="4"/>
  <coordinateSystem name="GCS WGS 1984 (Decimal Degrees)" wkid="4326" decimals=""/>
  <coordinateSystem name="World Mercator" wkid="54004" decimals="4"/>
 <!-- <coordinateSystem name="GCS WGS 1984 (Decimal Degrees)" wkid="4326" decimals="2"/> -->
   </coordinateSystems>
   
 <!-- Zoom To Coordinate Scale -->
 <zoomScale>5000</zoomScale>

   
</configuration>

I tried the default code and still get the same problem, shows up as NaN for Lat / Long. If I turn off my operational layers, and only run the base maps, I still run into the same problem.

Is your map service(s) public for me to look at?

UPDATE:

Did a little test, maybe this will help narrow things down.

Map Service is not public but I think you looking for this information. I noticed that the Spatial Reference is 3857 and not 102101 or 4326, issue?

UPDATE:

I created a new flex viewer with the coordinate menu widget,

Vancouver now shows up correctly.
X: -13706323.186011488 Y: 6320134.462034756

So something is wrong with my original flex viewer, if you have any ideas of what to fix that would be great.

TristanForward2 · ‎02-01-2012

UPDATE:

Figured out what was effecting the coordinates...

My Extents!

<map wraparound180="true" initialextent="-57193000 5667000 -50956000 8828000" fullextent="-20000000 -20000000 20000000 20000000" top="40">

If I use the default extents that come with the flex viewer
<map wraparound180="true" initialextent="-14083000 3139000 -10879000 5458000" fullextent="-20000000 -20000000 20000000 20000000" top="40">

It works fine, use this tool to determine your extents, whatever way I did before messed it up.

Ok, so some of the widget is working however still get NaN (not a number) as shown here.

Any ideas to why?

UPDATE: Viewer 2.5 version now available for download.

Whats new in 2.5

Can be run as a traditional widget (CoordinateMenuWidget_GUI.swf) - As requested by many users. - see ReadMe.txt

Now includes DMS

Extent Grabber - Gets the map extent in a variety of formats.

- Some of you might like the new Extent Grabber (2.5 ONLY)
- Version 2.5 Demo currently not yet online
