Some of these have alternate names, for example US 422 is also known as the Benjamin Franklin Highway.</P><P style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</P><P>Our users know it as US 422, ArcGIS knows it at Benjamin Franklin Highway. If I was using ArcGIS for desktop I could use an alternate name table, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent feature for ArcGIS REST API. Of course I could take of this manually, but is there a way to get ArcGIS REST API to acknowledge alternate names?</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Sep 2014 21:57:55 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/alternate-names-for-us-highways-geocoding-rest/m-p/193650#M11026 AutoReturnAutoReturn 2014-09-12T21:57:55Z Re: Alternate names for US highways, Geocoding REST service https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/alternate-names-for-us-highways-geocoding-rest/m-p/193651#M11027 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Looks like you can configure a geocoder to use alternate names.</P><P><A href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00250000002p000000" title="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00250000002p000000">ArcGIS Help 10.1</A> </P><P></P><P>If you publish this as the service you should be able to do what you need.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Sep 2014 22:15:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/alternate-names-for-us-highways-geocoding-rest/m-p/193651#M11027 PaulCrickard1 2014-09-12T22:15:20Z Re: Alternate names for US highways, Geocoding REST service https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/alternate-names-for-us-highways-geocoding-rest/m-p/193652#M11028 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>This doesn't quite do what we need.
