Two new input methods, Coordinate and Location Offset, are now available when adding point or line events.<\/p>\n LRS editors can now specify a referent and offset (such as “0.3 miles from the bridge with a National Bridge Inventory (NBI) number of 00000000012345A”) or enter coordinates directly. Both methods translate to route and measure values automatically, so data entry stays in the format of the source data.<\/p>\n With the addition of these two methods, event entry workflows in Experience Builder are on par with ArcGIS Pro.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2968399,"id":2968399,"title":"coordinate-location-offset-methods-1","filename":"coordinate-location-offset-methods-1.png","filesize":64657,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/coordinate-location-offset-methods-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/data-management\/whats-new-arcgis-roads-highways-pipeline-referencing-may-2026\/coordinate-location-offset-methods-1","alt":"A screenshot highlighting the Coordinate and Location Offset methods in the Add Point Event and Add Line Event widgets.","author":"346422","description":"","caption":"","name":"coordinate-location-offset-methods-1","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2966325,"date":"2026-05-30 00:21:55","modified":"2026-05-30 00:22:23","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":815,"height":864,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/coordinate-location-offset-methods-1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/coordinate-location-offset-methods-1.png","medium-width":246,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/coordinate-location-offset-methods-1.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":814,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/coordinate-location-offset-methods-1.png","large-width":815,"large-height":864,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/coordinate-location-offset-methods-1.png","1536x1536-width":815,"1536x1536-height":864,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/coordinate-location-offset-methods-1.png","2048x2048-width":815,"2048x2048-height":864,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/coordinate-location-offset-methods-1-439x465.png","card_image-width":439,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/coordinate-location-offset-methods-1.png","wide_image-width":815,"wide_image-height":864}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" In this release, the LRS Viewer and LRS Event Editor templates have been updated with a streamlined user interface and improved viewing and editing capabilities.
