What’s NewGeocoding

World GeocoderOn-Premises

• World Geocoder Released at ArcGIS 10.4- Supports privacy and performance requirements- Includes Software + Data + Services- Can be configured to work with Portal

ArcGIS Pro 1.3

• Locate features from GDB and Feature Services• Customize order of results (Locators and now Feature Data)• Save and persist locate settings for each map

New Capabilities for the Locate Pane

ArcGIS Pro 1.3

• Use Suggestions directly with Geocoding Services- Already worked with supported utility services configured in Portal- Now works directly from Geocoding Services added to a Pro Project

Road AheadGeocoding

ArcGIS Geocoding Strategy

• ArcGIS Geocoding covers many use cases• Geosearch, Batch and Reverse Geocoding

• Coordinates, Features, Addresses, Places, POIs

• Online, On-Premises (Behind the Firewall), Offline (Packaging)

• Ready to use content and user address data

• Support for Global and Local requirements

• Strategy focusses on increasing the performance, quality and the efficiency of deploying geocoding across the platform

USA Geocoding Styles

• Quality and Performance fixes that were made for the online service will now be part of the 10.5 USA style

- Additional output fields consistent with the Online Service- Improved field mapping

• USA Sub Address Style- Many quality improvements with 10.5

ArcGIS 10.5

Enhancements for Coordinate Geocoding

• USNG capability added to ArcGIS Online World Geocoding Service - USNG results are available to developers through the categories API- July 2016

• Lat / Long coordinate enhancements for Online Geocoding- July 2016

• MGRS and USNG geocoding available to configure for use in the AGOL/Portal viewer- Dec 2016

ArcGIS Online Dec 2016

Improved MatchingRoad Ahead

Additional geocoding improvements you’ll see in future ArcGIS releases

• Geocoding improvements to handle extra information in addresses

Address Improved Match Current Match

Reverse Geocoding of AreasRoad Ahead

Additional geocoding improvements you’ll see in future ArcGIS releases

• Reverse Geocoding will work with Areas

• Locators store all POI, Admin and Postal areas as polygons

• A reverse geocoding request returns a list of all relevant polygons for a location

Advanced Intersection GeocodingRoad Ahead

Additional geocoding improvements you’ll see in future ArcGIS releases

• Intersection geocoding will support more types of intersections

• Find roads that are close to each other

• Find roads that pass over but don’t intersect

• Find roads entering roundabouts

Suggestions work in Pro for Local LocatorsRoad Ahead

Additional geocoding improvements you’ll see in future ArcGIS releases

Improved Multiline SupportRoad Ahead

Additional geocoding improvements you’ll see in future ArcGIS releases

• Additional address field inputs- Address data can be stored in many separate fields

- House Number, Street Name, Unit#; each in a field

- Multiline tools will support more than one input address field

• Incorrect field mapping tolerance- Area information such as city, state, province is not consistent

globally- If the data from the source file is incorrectly field mapped

Locators can handle it with some flexibility

More Efficient LocatorsRoad Ahead

Additional geocoding improvements you’ll see in future ArcGIS releases

• Smaller Locators which take less space on disk and use fewer system resources

• Improvements to locator compilation speed

• Performance improvements

Recommendation

• Geocoding is constantly being improved across the system

• To ensure the best results we recommend updating your software and rebuilding locators using the latest styles with each release.
