ESM: import Locate from "@arcgis/core/widgets/Locate.js";
CDN: const Locate = await $arcgis.import("@arcgis/core/widgets/Locate.js");
Class: @arcgis/core/widgets/Locate
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.0
Provides a simple widget that animates the View to the user's current location. The view rotates according to the direction where the tracked device is heading towards. By default the widget looks like the following:
The default heading symbol will display if the device has a speed greater than zero and the browser provides heading information:
The Locate widget is not supported on insecure origins. To use it, switch your application to a secure origin, such as HTTPS. Note that localhost is considered "potentially secure" and can be used for easy testing in browsers that supports Window.isSecureContext.
Known Limitation
The Locate widget does not work concurrently with the Track widget. Only one of the widgets can be used at a time.
You can use the view's DefaultUI to add widgets to the view's user interface via the ui
property on the view. The snippet below demonstrates this.
Example
let locateWidget = new Locate({
view: view, // Attaches the Locate button to the view
graphic: new Graphic({
symbol: { type: "simple-marker" } // overwrites the default symbol used for the
// graphic placed at the location of the user when found
})
});
view.ui.add(locateWidget, "top-right");
Constructors
new Locate(properties)
Parameter
optionalSee the properties for a list of all the properties that may be passed into the constructor.
Example
// typical usage
let locate = new Locate({
view: view
});

Property DetailsThe ID or node representing the DOM element containing the widget. This property can only be set once. The following examples are all valid use case when working with widgets.
Examples
// Create the HTML div element programmatically at runtime and set to the widget's container
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view,
container: document.createElement("div")
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
position: "top-right"
});
// Specify an already-defined HTML div element in the widget's container
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view,
container: basemapGalleryDiv
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
position: "top-right"
});
// HTML markup
<body>
<div id="viewDiv"></div>
<div id="basemapGalleryDiv"></div>
</body>
// Specify the widget while adding to the view's UI
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
position: "top-right"
});
Inherited
Property declaredClass Stringreadonly
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className
.
goToLocationEnabled Boolean
Indicates whether the widget should navigate the view to the position and scale of the geolocated result.
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.8 Locate since 4.0, goToOverride added at 4.8.
This function provides the ability to override either the MapView goTo() or SceneView goTo() methods.
Example
// The following snippet uses Search but can be applied to any
// widgets that support the goToOverride property.
search.goToOverride = function(view, goToParams) {
goToParams.options = {
duration: updatedDuration
};
return view.goTo(goToParams.target, goToParams.options);
};
The graphic used to show the user's location on the map.
Example
let locateWidget = new Locate({
viewModel: { // autocasts as new LocateViewModel()
view: view, // assigns the locate widget to a view
graphic: new Graphic({
symbol: { type: "simple-marker" } // overwrites the default symbol used for the
// graphic placed at the location of the user when found
})
}
});
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.28 Locate since 4.0, icon added at 4.28.
Icon displayed in the widget's button.
Inherited
Property id String
The unique ID assigned to the widget when the widget is created. If not set by the developer, it will default to the container ID, or if that is not present then it will be automatically generated.
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.8 Locate since 4.0, label added at 4.8.
The widget's default label.
popupEnabled Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.19 Locate since 4.0, popupEnabled added at 4.19.
Indicates whether to display the Popup of the result graphic from the locate() method.
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Locate since 4.0, scale added at 4.7.
Indicates the scale to set on the view when navigating to the position of the geolocated result once a location is returned from the track event. If a scale value is not explicitly set, then the view will navigate to a default scale of 2500
. For 2D views the value should be within the effectiveMinScale and effectiveMaxScale.
Example
reactiveUtils.watch(
() => mapView.scale,
(currentScale) => console.log("scale: %s", currentScale)
);
mapView.when(function(){
// Create an instance of the Locate widget
let locateWidget = new Locate({
view: mapView,
scale: 5000
});
// and add it to the view's UI
mapView.ui.add(locateWidget, "top-left");
locateWidget.locate();
locateWidget.on("locate", function(locateEvent){
console.log(locateEvent);
console.log("locate: %s", mapView.scale);
})
});
The view model for this widget. This is a class that contains all the logic (properties and methods) that controls this widget's behavior. See the LocateViewModel class to access all properties and methods on the widget.
Inherited
Property visible Boolean
Indicates whether the widget is visible.
If false
, the widget will no longer be rendered in the web document. This may affect the layout of other elements or widgets in the document. For example, if this widget is the first of three widgets associated to the upper right hand corner of the view UI, then the other widgets will reposition when this widget is made invisible. For more information, refer to the css display value of "none"
.
Example
// Hides the widget in the view
widget.visible = false;

Method addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 4.25.
Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.
// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
() => !view.updating,

wkidSelect.disabled = false;
},
{ once: true }
);
this.addHandles(handle);
// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

optionalKey identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.
