Not sure what the best way to accomplish this via the API. Let's say I have a routed layer of roads or stream network. I want to return the milepost location (or River Mile) at the map location that the user clicks on.

Can I extract this information using the Identify task or do I need to use the esri.tasks.RouteTask option? The code snippits and examples seem more focused on connecting two locations together on a network rather than identifying a single location.

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

I'd assume that you need to use RouteTask. IdentifyTask is more like the Identify tool in ArcMap, in that it returns the value of a feature found at that XY location, rather than using a linear reference.
