I have a dataset that comes in every month and needs to be geocoded. Usually 70-80% of it is the same addresses with the rest being additions or changes. Is there a good workflow to avoid not using credits? It’s a big waste of credits to keep geocoding these!
@jzcgis There are three different tutorials available for building locators with the Create Locator tool.
Try this link: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geocoding/create-a-locator.htm
I am much more familiar with ArcMap based address locators, but hopefully this can help you to build an address locator in Pro and avoid having to worry about using credits.
I never even thought of this. What’s a good documentation to start?
Do you have the ability to create your own geocoder as that would not use credits and you can keep your current process in place?
To my knowledge the Geocoder doesn't return a unique key per address or address range, so your best bet is to cache the results in a table somewhere and test against said table to determine what needs another run. Annoying, but if your duplicate addresses have the same format every time they repeat then you can save a ton of credits and time easily.
