How to have cross streets in Geocoder

KathleenWallis — Mon, 06 Feb 2017 18:26:33 GMT

I have had a couple of geocoder that I have been using for years, however I now have the need to search for a location by cross street. i.e. Jones Dr @ Main St. Can someone point me in the right direction, as in do I need an additional
table in my source data that lists all the possible cross streets?

Thanks

When I see Jones Dr @ Main St I think of the intersection of those two streets. When you create a locator based on streets you can create a list of intersection delimiters like @, &, and, /, \, etc. So in essence, you've been able to do this all along.

When I read the term cross street, I think of something a little less precise, like a block: 300 Block of Main ST which would mean anywhere between 3rd and 4th on Main St. It's a little less precise in that maybe, 4th doesn't really intersect Main, so the 300 block goes all the way 5th, which is the next true intersection.

Not sure if I've muddied the waters or clarified them for you...
