Polygon feature loocator creation and polygon geocoding

LIEPAJABUILDINGBOARD — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 08:11:28 GMT

Hi! I'm just curious whether and how it is possible to geocode polygons instead of points? For example I have a table list of addresses (and parcel cadastral codes) and I want to geocode them as polygons. What is the best way to define polygon shape for each table entry?

In ArcGIS Pro, the output from geocoding addresses is typically a point feature class. The geocoding process matches addresses to geographic coordinates and represents them as points on a map. If you need to work with polygons, you might consider using other tools or workflows to convert point data to polygon data, depending on your specific requirements.

You may be able to do this with the Make Query Table tool, joining the polygons to the address table (include the Shape field) and export the result to a new feature class.

If you are trying to attach the polygon info to the geocode result, check out the Add Polygon Fields To Locator tool.
