Find address with reverse geocode

Use an online service to find the address for a tapped point.

Use case

You might use a geocoder to find a customer’s delivery address based on the location returned by their device’s GPS.

How to use the sample

Tap the map to see the nearest address displayed in a callout.

How it works

1. Create a LocatorTask object using a URL to a geocoder service.
2. Create an instance of ReverseGeocodeParameters and set ReverseGeocodeParameters.maxResults to 1.
3. Pass the ReverseGeocodeParameters into LocatorTask.reverseGeocode(forLocation:parameters:) and get the matching results from the GeocodeResult.
4. Show the results using a PictureMarkerSymbol and add the symbol to a Graphic in the GraphicsOverlay.
