Arcmap Geocoding Quickguide PDF
Geocoding is the process of assigning a location, usually in the form of coordinate values (latitude and longitude), to an
address by comparing the descriptive location elements (address, city, state and zip) to those present in the Address
Locator. This handout covers how to set up the address locator service and how to geocode your address using those
services.
This handout assumes that you have an Excel spreadsheet that contains address data. Be sure that the column head-
ings are in the first row and that the heading names do not contain spaces.
