The NeighborFinder has been updated at 2018 to return measures with the near values. But does it?

It would be great if it worked as documented, and I vaguely remember using it in the Beta. I don't see any new output attributes null or otherwise. I see a lot of hacks in FME Hub for LRS_* operations, (none of them very appealing). I did find a workaround using PointOnLineOverlayer. I assume the extra parameters on NeighborFinder were meant to do the same without an overlay.

Is there a way of getting a measure on a Route without chopping up the line?

The Neighborfinder does do that. You can see them in the feature information window.

You can extract these without chopping up your line by using a measureextractor (Type =whole line)

The measures are then stuffed in a list.
