LocatorHub is Retiring

Esri UK would like to give our customers advanced notice of our plans to retire LocatorHub on 31st December 2023.  LocatorHub 6.0, which was released in September 2020, will be the last major release.

LocatorHub 6.0 is currently in Extended Support.  For full details of the product lifecycle please see here.

The decision to retire LocatorHub has been driven by a number of factors including updates to the core ArcGIS technology; enhancements to the UK Data Loader to provide support to build locators from AddressBase and AddressBase Core, LLPG/CAG (available now in 5.1 release); the recent release of our connector to the OS Places API; and our partners providing additional functionality for wider address management needs. 

We have identified a number of possible migration routes for our LocatorHub customers, each of which brings additional capability and potential to lower Total Cost of Ownership compared to maintaining LocatorHub as a separate application. The migration route you choose will depend on your existing software estate, the specific workflows and address sources you use within LocatorHub.

The three migration routes we recommend are:

• From LocatorHub to the World Geocoding Service hosted in ArcGIS Online

• From LocatorHub to ArcGIS Enterprise, using ArcGIS Locators built using ArcGIS Pro with the UK Data Loader

• From LocatorHub to a partner solution which supports the ArcGIS REST API, such as

  • OS Places API (using the OS Places API Connector hosted by Esri UK)

  • Aligned Assets SinglePoint

To find out more about the new ways of working with property addresses in the Esri ecosystem please come to our webinar @ 11am BST on 29th June 2021  Register here

We also recommend you start to talk to your Customer Success Manager about your migration plans.

If you have any questions please contact either your CSM or the Product Manager of LocatorHub
