Geocode a Location

When you enter an address and select Locate, the case is geocoded to the X and Y coordinates on the map. Geocoding gives you the opportunity to pinpoint a specific address or parcel making it easier to visually compare, map, calculate, and analyze data.

On the Create New and Main panels, enter an address and click the Locate button to the right of the Location field to open the Geocode Results window.

Select the desired address from the list.

This geocodes the address to the case without having to open the map. However, if the map is already open, the results are displayed as map pins. When a result is selected, it centers on the corresponding pin on the map.

Select Use the address of the selected candidate to update to the selected address and its X and Y coordinates. If you do not select this check box, it still updates the X and Y coordinates but does not update the address.

After you've selected an address, click Select to apply the results to the case and populate the X and Y fields.

A map pin appears on the map.

NOTE: Score is an Esri-calculated value that shows how closely the value entered matches the parameters defined by Esri.
