Intro to GIS: Week 12 - Geocoding

In this week's lab, we learned the importance of geocoding data. To process this skill, we created a map showing the various EMS stations within Lake County, FL and the optimal route to get to 3 of them. We created our own address locator to help translate the EMS xls datasheet onto the map so we could locate the EMS stations. There were some issue with geocoding the addresses which we used the 'Interactive Rematch' window which allowed us to find candidates that were close to the location of the EMS station or we created our pinpoint by using the 'Pick Address from Map' tool. To create the optimal route to the 3 EMS stations, we used the 'Network Analysis' extension which enable us to find the best possible route to get to these stations.
