Why does ESRI's reverse geocoder fail sometimes? #38

Closed stevevance closed 9 years ago

stevevance commented 9 years ago

Occasionally the reverse geocode function fails to produce a response.

Is our JavaScript looking for the right response codes/statuses and does it know what to do with the "wrong" response?

Update: Figured out the error that it throws, working on printing out a nice message that says something to the effect of "try again".

@guillermokrh What error was it throwing?

Would it be possible to "try again" without requested that the user do anything?

I think it is possible to try again, but shouldn't we let the user know that there is no data for the specific location they are requesting?

@guillermokrh Ife was working on this today, setting up a new geocoder with Pelias, actually. I'm going to go ahead and close it.
