ESRI Map

Overview

Esri is the global market leader in geographic information system (GIS) software, location intelligence, and mapping. With this bi-directional integration, you can mark specific locations, measure distance and area, and provide directions using 2D or 3D maps and save this data to your application. You can also visualize your existing data on an Esri map and select those points for further analysis.


Note: The Esri ArcGIS Map Connected System plug-in is deployed separately. If you want to use this Component Plug-in, the corresponding Connected System Plug-In must also be deployed.

Pre-Requisites: An Esri subscription or trial, Esri ArcGIS Map Connected System.

  • Hello, I believe I have found a few bugs with the mapMarkerField component:
    1. Polylines appear to support name and description fields, since these can be added by selecting the line and clicking 'Update', but lines passed into the lineData parameter do not display the a name or description. The length of the line is displayed as the feature instead.

    2. Updates made to the name and description fields of points are reflected in the pop-up when a feature is selected, but these values in the variable are not updated. The same goes for lines and polygons.

    3. It's possible to update the name and description fields of point, lines, and polygons when the mapMarkerField is set to read-only.

    Lastly, this is not necessarily a bug, but when updating the name and description fields, the "Update" button in the popup is disabled until the user unfocuses from the input field where edits were made. It would be better user experience if the button was disabled until a change in the field was detected on keypress.

    I'm surprised no one has raised these issues before, hopefully they are easy to fix. Thanks!
