More Details Connect to Claude

Connect to ArcGIS location services through any AI agent and explore geographic data through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Geocoding — Convert street addresses and place names to coordinates (lat/lon) with high accuracy
  • Reverse Geocoding — Convert GPS coordinates to human-readable addresses
  • Place Search — Find nearby points of interest (restaurants, hotels, gas stations, hospitals) by category
  • Routing — Calculate driving directions between locations with distance and travel time
  • Elevation — Get elevation data for any location on Earth
  • Basemap Styles — Discover available map styles for visualization projects
