Building Footprints

RickWeisbond — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 14:09:10 GMT

Back in October 2018 ESRI announced a partnership with BuildingFootprintUSA to add building footprints with address data that would enable users to geocode a table of addresses to building footprint centroids. The availability date was December 2018. I have not seen the data yet and can't find an updated due date. Any estimate when we can expect to see that data?

The first release of the World Geocoding Service that includes content from BFUSA will come later this year. At this time, the data will only be used in the World Geocoding Service.

Robert Jensen,

Now that this post is a few months old, is there a more specific ETA for when we can expect BFUSA to be integrated into the world geocoder? Or a roadmap for when it will be available in the Living Atlas, basemaps, training datasets, etc.?

Thanks for any update you can provide!

Hi Kelly,

The specific ETA for the first integration of BFUSA content into the World Geocoding service is the October release of ArcGIS Online. Quarterly updates will continue afterwards for BFUSA content.

Has this or will this information be included with What's New in the October update of AGOL?

Robert:

I don't see any mention of this functionality in the What's New in ArcGIS Online for October 2019.

Did this functionality not make it into this release?

Happy to see this functionality added to the World Geocoding Service. However, when I tested it out with Chester County, PA addresses, the point still goes to the parcel centroid. Is Chester County not included or am I missing something?
