Near Me

The Near Me widget allows you to find features within a buffer of a defined address or location, view detailed information about those features, and get directions to the selected feature if desired.

Additionally, the Near Me widget can be configured to find polygon features containing a defined address or location instead of polygon features within the buffer.
