The Australian Geocoded National Address File (GNAF) provides address locations, but also Street level coordinates (i.e. a centre point for each street/suburb combination).
I can build an address Locator in ArcGIS Pro fine, however I'm wondering how I can allow the option to match at street level?
For example, I'm searching for '30 Main Rd Maintown'. It can't find that specific address number, how can I allow it to then 'ignore' the address number and match with the street?
This is assuming I've been provided with a single line input, i.e. it's not easy to just 'drop' the street number from the search string.
I'd like the following to match to street level:
I ended up writing some code to convert the street centre points to tiny polylines, then I used this dataset to create a 'StreetAddress' role Locator. This allows matching to street level, also I created huge house number ranges for each record so that any address number (including 0) will match. Achieves what I was trying to do, not sure if there was an easier way.
