I am trying to geocode a series of addresses which occur in my fire district. The only problem I am having is that I have a couple of buildings with odd addresses, like 928.5 W Rollins Rd. Is there a method that anyone has found to account for addressing like that? They all fallout of my locator.

Thanks,

Pat Walker

Personally, I cheat and round them off.  They occupy the exact x,y location as the whole number, so I don't see the difference.
That should just about do it....

I have the same issue what I do is put the 1/2 as a unit rather than part of the address number itself.  Rounding can cause problems.

I have toyed with editing the us_addr.xat via the GDK but I am not having much luck.  My pattern looks like this:

^|^|/|^|?|T ;Standard form: 269 1/2 MAURINE AVE
COPY [1] temp
CONCAT " " temp
CONCAT [2] temp
CONCAT [3] temp
CONCAT [4] temp
COPY temp {HN}
COPY [5] {SN}
COPY [6] {ST}
EXIT

If there is anyone that has accomplished this before, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
