Find Place task
Release 9.3.1 E-mail This Topic Printable Version Give Us Feedback

The Find Place Task used ArcWeb Services to locate user-defined places. Because ArcWeb Services was deprecated earlier in 2009, it is recommended that you use the Find Address Task or the Search Attributes Task to achieve similar functionality.

ESRI has made available a geocode service on ArcGIS Online that you can use to add place finding capabilities in your Web applications. The locator references a geodatabase of over 6 million places worldwide. You can connect to this service in Manager and use it as a supporting service to the Find Address Task. To do this, you'll need to connect to http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/services and browse to the Locators folder > ESRI_Places_World.
