A Geocoder for FME Server Apps would be a useful tool for locating users 'areas of interest' over a large area.

This could be an addition to the geometry picker tool (new in 2020)

or

A stand alone map that can be added to FME server apps

This idea comes from feedback from users in the month of April 2020.


The useful part of FME Server Apps is the speed you can deploy a workspace to server and make it available to users, this automates users for self-serve.

Provided the returned coordinate is not stored and is only used to pan the map the combination of suggest/findAddressCandidates might work: https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/geocode/api-reference/overview-world-geocoding-service.htm

Thank you for your suggestion! I'm happy to announce that as of FME 2021.2+ you now have the ability to search for locations in the Geometry Parameter map. We've added search functionality powered by OpenStreetMap Nomination tool for reverse geocoding names and addresses based on OSM data. You also have the option to specify your own nomination API for larger processing needs. See the Search for Locations in the Map section in the Using the Geometry Parameter in FME Server article for more information.
