Task #1 | Geocode Street Address

File Requirement:
Street and cda_add inside in Kootenai.gdb

Steps:
1. Launch ArcMap software  Add folder connection to 106382605_Lab#9  Insert New Data Frame and
named as Chap16Task1.
2. Right click on the Chap16Task1  select Add Data  select Street and cda_add
3. Go to ArcToolBox  Right click on the ArcToolBox  Environment  select Chap16Task1 as a current
and scratch workspace.
4. Go to ArcToolBox  Geocoding Tools  Create Address Locator Tool  select US Address – Dual
Ranges for the address locator style  select streets for the reference data.
Make sure this:
- From Left  select FRADDL
- To Left  TOADDL
- From Right  FRADDR
- To Right  TOADDR
- Street Name  FENAME
Save the output address locator as a Task 1
5. Go to Customize menu  point to Toolbars  check Geocoding  click Geocode Address  choose
Task1  OK  In the next dialog select cda_add for the address table  save output feature class as a
cda_geocode (in Kootenai.gdb)

6. To deal with unmatched record  click on Rematch on the completion window  scroll down and find
unmatched record is 2750 W Kathleen Ave 83814  click record to select it  change the wrong ZIP code
to 83815  Highlight the top candidate with score 100  Match  click Close.
7. Go to Catalog Tree  Double click on Task1

Task Question #1:

The default spelling sensitivity value is 80. If you were to change it to 60, how would the change affect the
geocoding process?
Answer:
A higher value will restrict candidates to exact matches. The spelling sensitivity does not affect the match
score of each candidate; it only controls how many candidates the geocoding service considers. The geocoding
service then computes the match score of each candidate and ranks the candidates by score.

Task Question #2:

What are the side offset and end offset values?
Answer:
Side offside: 3 and End Offset: 10

table  select SR for the route identifier  select POINT for the event type  select ARM for the
measure field  select RoadSideAll for the overlay event table  select SR for the rout identifier 
select LINE for the event type  select BEGIN_ARM for the from-measure field  select END_ARM for
the to-measure field  select INTERSECT for the type of overlay  enter Rest_Roadside.dbf for the
