Hi,

Is it somehow possible to make findNearbyPlaceName only return records that have a population that isn't empty/zero?

I can e.g. add the featureClass parameter to filter on featureClass, but can I filter on population?

Thanks
Kaj

Hi Kaj

The findNearbyPlaceName service does not support a filter by population, you would have to filter it yourself.
The cities service returns the cities filtered by relevancy:

Thanks for the quick reply. It's however a bit too coarse, so I applied filtering to the findNearbyPlaceName service.
