Understanding how to to use the tools you are given is more important than understanding how to finish a job.
In this weeks lab we were tasked with learning the ins and outs to ultimately understand Geocoding and Model Builder in ArcMaps.
The map I created utilizes a number of techniques built upon each other utilizing the geocoder in Arcmaps. The map itself is of Lake County, Florida and highlights an optimal route to take between three EMS sites. The map contains two data frames, the main data frame being the optimal route zoomed in view and the second being a county wide view highlighting the extent indicators for the route and all other EMS sites located within Lake County, Florida.
Geocoding can be difficult because it requires multiple files in order to be used effectively. The first and foremost step was to create an Addresslocator or a compiled list of EMS sites and there locations ready for geocoding imported from the excel sheet$1 file. This process involved manually selecting address locations for a number of sites using the "pick address from map" feature in the network analysis toolbar. Once all addressees were defined and a route was solved my EMS route map was practically finished. Here is the final results.
