Geocoding intersections with an offset based on a field with a distance

Hi Folks,

I am trying to geocode some accident collision data (intersection) but each intersection point is defined with an offset distance and direction of the collision. For example: a collision at an intersection of two streets has a field saying that it is, n N (north), 25m, one field has 25 and the other has the N.

Any ideas how I can geocode these intersections with the offset?

Thanks

Larisa

For me, it doesn't work on either the toolbar or while batch geocoding. The issue apparently is that ArcGIS World Geocoding Service does not allow offsetting. One has to create there own locator to do offsetting (which seems like an uphill task for a beginner like me).

I can get this to work as described in the help using a locator created with the Create Address Locator tool in the Find tool and Geocoding toolbar. Unfortunately, batch geocoding a table is not working with the latest versions of ArcMap. If this is functionality that you need I'd suggest either submitting an Enhancement request through Tech Support or add an ArcGIS Idea.
