I am also looking into building my own composite locator using the data provided on the Maps DVD/download. I was using the ArcGIS Online North American locator and it is no longer available in 10.1 SP 1. There are a few locators pre-built in the Maps data, but they handle full addresses and postal data only. I need to re-create the functionality of the North American locator (Address, City / State, Street, Zip) in one composite locator using the maps data.So far I haven't found any way to build the City/State portion of the composite locator based on this data. I don't see any table that links city and state in the same table. Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated, and would probably help the other poster as well.Thank you!
I recommend you download and use a local locator from the ESRI Data and Maps DVD. You can get this at your customer care portal (customers.esri.com) under Software Downloads. There are some limitations with the free ArcGIS Online locators for batch geocoding. They are really meant more for geolocating with the geocoding toolbar or the Find tool, and not for batch geocoding jobs. Depending on the load the servers are getting, it could fail out for batch geocoding jobs, as they weren't really designed for this purpose. I recommend you either create your own Address Locator or download the Data and Maps DVD, which has several locators based of street map data. This will be a more reliable workflow for large jobs, such as what you describe.
