We have addressed some of the problems with suggestions from geocode services in ArcGIS Pro 2.3. There is a new tool called Create Locator that will create locators that:
- Return suggestions with verified house numbers in local locators and geocode services
- Support suggestions when used locally in ArcGIS Pro
- Include enhancements to reverse geocoding to return matches to the most relevant feature (point or polygon) near your location, which may be an address, point of interest, or postal code.
Pro 2.3 will ship with support to build locators with the Create Locator tool for US, US territories, and Canada. We will be working on releasing additional countries in upcoming releases. If you have access to ArcGIS Pro 2.3 beta, you can test out creating locators with the Create Locator tool and testing out the suggestion in ArcGIS Pro or as a service.
The installed help is included with the beta where the Geocoding help has been update, which can be found under Help > Data > Geocoding . The "Build your own locator" book is geared towards the Create Locator tool, which has its own help topic under Tool Reference > ArcGIS Pro tool reference > Geocoding toolbox.
The locators created with the Create Locator tool in ArcGIS Pro cannot be added to ArcMap.
If you publish the locator to ArcGIS Server or Portal (federated) you can access the service in ArcMap through an ArcGIS Server connection in ArcMap/ArcCatalog.
