Geocoding in ArcGIS Tutorial

IN THIS TUTORIAL

This tutorial introduces you to geocoding with ArcGIS ® Desktop. You will

learn the basic techniques for creating address locators and geocoding with

ArcGIS. Exercises 2 and 3 demonstrate some advanced features—using

alternate names and place name aliases and creating a dynamic feature

class that is related to the address table.

Some procedures in this tutorial require that you be familiar with using

ArcCatalog™ and ArcMap™. For example, you should know how to copy

data to a new location and add data to a map. You should also have a basic

understanding of what a geodatabase is and the objects it can contain. If

you’re new to GIS or feel you need to refresh your knowledge, please take

some time to read Getting Started with ArcGIS . You might also find that

working through the ArcCatalog Tutorial and ArcMap Tutorial will help

you understand many of these basic concepts.

• Exercise 1: Locating and

rematching addresses

Exercise 2: Using alternate

street names and place name

aliases

Exercise 3: Creating a dynamic

geocoded feature class

Exercise 1: Locating and rematching addresses

In the first part of this tutorial you’ll learn how to create a

new address locator, how to locate an address on a map,

how to get an address of a location, and how to create point

features representing street addresses stored in a table such

as customer locations.

Before you begin, it is recommended that you make a copy

of the data used in this tutorial so the original tutorial data

will remain unmodified. Copy the Atlanta.gdb folder to a

new location on your computer such as the C:\ disk; you’ll

find it in the ArcTutor\Geocoding folder on the local disk

where the tutorial data was installed. You’ll need 2.1 MB of

free disk space to store a copy of the Atlanta.gdb folder.

The Atlanta.gdb folder contains a file geodatabase named

Atlanta. Make sure the geodatabase is not read-only.

Creating a new address locator

An address locator lets you convert textual descriptions of

locations into geographic features. Address Locators are

stored and managed in a workspace you choose. The

workspace can be a file folder, file geodatabase, personal

geodatabase or SDE geodatabase. The first thing you’ll do

is create an address locator based on your copy of the

Atlanta file geodatabase.

1. Start ArcCatalog.

2. Navigate to the Atlanta file geodatabase.

3. Click the Atlanta geodatabase in the Catalog tree.

4. Right-click within the empty space of the Contents list,

point to New, then click Address Locator.

The Create New Address Locator dialog box appears.

5. Click the US Streets with Zone address locator style,

then click OK.

The New US Streets with Zone Address Locator dialog

box appears.

6. In the Name text box, type “Atlanta”, replacing the

default name.

8. Navigate to the folder containing your copy of the

Atlanta geodatabase in the Choose Reference Data

dialog box. Double-click the geodatabase, click the

streets feature class, then click Add. This will add the

streets feature class as reference data to the Primary

table tab and populate the fields.

9. Leave all other address locator settings as they are and

click OK.

The new address locator appears in the Atlanta file

geodatabase.

7. On the Primary table tab, click the Browse button next

to the Reference data text box. This will open the

Choose Reference Data dialog box.
