Class: LocateButton
[ AMD Module Require | Legacy Module Require ]
dojo.require("esri.dijit.LocateButton");
Description
(Added at v3.7)
LocateButton provides a simple button to locate and zoom to the user's location.
The Locate widget is only supported on secure web pages (https) and localhost.
As of version 3.19, the Locate Button no longer displays on non-secure web apps. At version 3.18 this only applied to Google Chrome. Note that
As of version 3.19, the Locate Button no longer displays on non-secure web apps. At version 3.18 this only applied to Google Chrome. Note that
localhost is considered "potentially secure" and can be used for easy testing.
If the spatial reference of the map is not Web Mercator (wkid 3857) or WGS84 (wkid 4326) then you must set a default GeometryService in the default API configurations of esri/config so the user's location can be reprojected to the spatial reference of the map.
esriConfig.defaults.geometryService = new GeometryService("http://yourdomain.com/geometryService");Samples
