Display coordinates in latitude-longitude order in ArcGIS Experience Builder

Summary

In ArcGIS Experience Builder, coordinate results returned by some widgets can be displayed in specific formats such as latitude-longitude (Y, X), where latitude values are displayed before longitude values in decimal degrees (DD). This provides a consistent method for representing spatial information on a map and enables precise location referencing for mapping and spatial analysis.

This article provides the options to display coordinates in latitude-longitude order in ArcGIS Experience Builder.

Procedure

Configure the Coordinates widget

1. Create a web experience and add a Map widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder. Refer to ArcGIS Experience Builder: Create your first web experience for instructions.
2. In the Insert widget panel, under Map centric, drag and drop the Coordinates widget onto the canvas.
3. In the configuration panel, configure the following settings:

1. For Select a Map widget, click the drop-down arrow and select the map under Current page.
2. For Output coordinate system, ensure the map’s coordinate system is used. Optionally, click New coordinate system to add and configure the preferred coordinate system.
3. Under Display options, for Display order, select Latitude/Longitude (Y, X).

4. Save, preview, and publish the experience.

The experience below shows the coordinates in latitude-longitude order in the Coordinates widget.

Configure the Coordinate Conversion widget

1. Create a web experience and add a Map widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder. Refer to ArcGIS Experience Builder: Create your first web experience for instructions.
