Hi,

Is there such a thing in ArcGIS Pro as a reverse geocoding tool like the Address Inspector on the geocoding toolbar in ArcMap?  My searches haven't found one.

Thanks,

Jeff

Yes, the Explore tool serves as the identify tool in Pro, when the tool is active there is a right click option "What's here" that will reverse gecode the clicked point in the map using your loaded location providers - by default the ArcGIS Online World geocoding service.

Thanks for the reply Bruce.

I have added my locator to my project, I right click and select "What's here" and nothing happens.  Am I missing a setting? Or does it show up on a pane that I have hidden?  Still can't find anything in the documentation about this functionality.

Thanks,

Jeff

Bruce Harold​  Is the result supposed to show up in a pop-up?  When I right click and select What's Here, the blue circle spins for a bit then stops and nothing happens.  I am able to find addresses by typing them into the locate window, so I know the locator works.

Yes, provided in the Settings for your locate providers you have enabled ArcGIS Online then you will get a popup with the reverse geocode from the World service.

What if I don't want to use the World Geocoding service?  I have my own composite locator that I use for assigning addresses.  This is the whole reason for me to do reverse geocoding.

Jeff, reverse geocoding (What's Here?) is only supported with the World Geocoding Service in Pro 1.0. Reverse geocoding will be supported for custom locators in Pro 1.1.

I couldn't get it to work even with the World Geocoder.  Could this be because I have a locator in my utilities area on ArcGIS Online?  That locator shows up in my projects without me needing to add it and I can't remove it from my project.

And I am actually using Pro Beta 1.1.
