Until recently, there wasn\u2019t an easy way to enter coordinates when editing features in ArcGIS Online.\r\n\r\nEnter tooltips<\/a>\u2014handy little pop-ups that help you edit with accuracy.\r\n\r\nTooltips give you real-time feedback while you edit features. This feedback includes measurements such as the length of a line, and dimensions such as the area of a polygon. Tooltips are now interactive, so you can type in your own values for input fields such as distance, direction, and length\u2014or in this case, latitude and longitude.\r\n\r\nIn this tip, you\u2019ll learn to use tooltips to map a point by coordinates in Map Viewer.\r\n\r\nMap a Point by Coordinates<\/strong>\r\n\r\nImagine that you manage radio tower data.
