eLocate Tool question

[MardiGullage]

In the eLocate widget, is there any way to control the level of zoom on a lat/long point? It zooms in beyond the resolution of my base map. And is there any way to accommodate postal codes in the address fields? At the moment, it only displays the first three characters.

Mardi,

  Sure you can control the zoom scale be adding the zoomscale property to the xml (by default the widget uses 10000 as the zoomscale).

<zoomscale>24000</zoomscale>

It appears that I neglected to document this.

I don't understand this portion. Can you provide more info and/or screenshot:

Thanks for the quick response! The postal code is the Canadian version of a zip code. The format is alternatng letters/numbers and is six digits long with a space. i.e A1C 5S7 . At the moment addresses in Canada appear like this:

Mardi,

  Right now this is all that is being returned from the locate results using http://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer

  Address = "74 E White Hills Rd"

  City = "St John's"

  CountryCode = "CAN"

  Loc_name = "CAN.StreetAddress"

  Match_addr = "74 E White Hills Rd, St John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, A1A"

  Neighborhood = (null)

  Postal = "A1A"

  PostalExt = (null)

  Region = "Newfoundland and Labrador"

  Subregion = (null)

Oh well. It's not really important for our puposes at this time, but in a future incarnation, it would be great to have. Guess the server is just not set up for handling postal codes. Thanks!

Mardi,

   Hmm. You marked your own reply as the correct answer. If that is what you intended to do thats fine, but were none of my replies at least helpful?

Sorry. My bad. I have changed it. You were very helpful!
