Create hyperlinks to Google Maps based on latitude and longitude in Portal for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Online Map Viewer pop-ups

Summary

In Portal for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, when the features' latitude and longitude values are stored in double type fields in a hosted feature layer, hyperlinks to the coordinates on Google Maps can be added to the pop-ups using custom Arcade expressions. This article provides the Arcade expressions to do so.

Procedure

1. Log in to Portal for ArcGIS or ArcGIS Online and open the web map in Map Viewer.
2. In Map Viewer, on the Settings (light) toolbar, click Configure pop-ups in Portal for ArcGIS or Pop-ups in ArcGIS Online.
3. In the Pop-ups pane, click Fields list, and click Select fields.

4. In the Select fields pane, click Add expression.
5. In the editor, configure the attribute expression. Replace <latitude_fieldname> and <longitude_fieldname> with the name of the fields storing the coordinates.

• To generate a hyperlink to Google Maps.

var lat = Replace(Text($feature.<latitude_fieldname>, "#.#######"), ",", ".");
var lon = Replace(Text($feature.<longitude_fieldname>, "#.#######"), ",", ".");
var url = "https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=" + lat + "," + lon;
return url;

• To generate a hyperlink to Google Street View.

var lat = Replace(Text($feature.<latitude_fieldname>, "#.#######"), ",", ".");
var lon = Replace(Text($feature.<longitude_fieldname>, "#.#######"), ",", ".");
var url = "http://maps.google.com/?cbll=" + lat + "," + lon + "&cbp=12,90,0,0,5&layer=c";
return url;

• To generate a hyperlink to Google Maps with an aerial view.

var lat = Replace(Text($feature.<latitude_fieldname>, "#.#######"), ",", ".");
var lon = Replace(Text($feature.<longitude_fieldname>, "#.#######"), ",", ".");
var url = "https://www.google.com/maps/@" + text(lat) + "," + text(lon) + ",38m/data=!3m1!1e3";
return url;

6. Click Done.
7. In the Select fields pane, click Done.

In this example, the Google Maps hyperlink based on the coordinates is generated and added to the pop-up.
