8 years ago There are several freely available coordinate widgets for the WAB:
None of them save the coordinate though. They just either recall them from a click on the map or plot them based on a set of coordinates. I went to the EnviroAtlas application to look for this fantastic flex widget that you spoke of but I didn't see it. @torrin47 could you give me a link or more direction to where I could view the flex widget?

8 years ago Ha, yeah, it's sneaky - the last place you'd ever look for functionality in a flex application, where a right-click only ever returns the annoying adobe flash menu. But check it out - the right click menu in the EnviroAtlas flex app has a bunch of options for grabbing coordinates and extents. Really nifty. The ones you've posted look pretty similar, particularly the first one - though it's strange, the bullets/links seem to be saved in github as png files rather than text - any way to swap that out? My sense is that this functionality isn't sufficiently central to EA's workflow to be worth developing anything that doesn't already exist, it's more a matter of let's be sure we're staying on top of best available widgets in this space. We probably don't need an issue to track that, because we'll be keeping an eye on these types of widgets for the WABOT anyway, right?

8 years ago Barb, could you please track down the link for the awesome flex widget and paste it here? Thanks!

7 years ago This issue was moved to USEPA/EnviroAtlas_JSApp#3
This looks like it was a fantastic reusable Flex widget - if no equivalent exists, assign ticket to Barb for a decision about priorities - there's a widget included in the WAB by default that will grab the coordinates for a single point, but the old Flex widget had all sorts of other functions - we'll want to unpack these and discuss whether they're used by the EA community.
