Hi ALL-

I'm new in GeoGIS world. I have an address table and I want to get longitude and latitude for these addresses. I tired to use ArcMap - Geocoding address (under menu geoprocessing - ArcToolbox), but how to export the data with longitude and latitude info.

Thanks in advance!

Step one would be to create a geocode locator that will translate your addresses into XY pairs in the form of a point feature class.  Then you can add Latitude and Longitude fields and using the calculate geometry tool get the lat/long updated. 

Start here....
That should just about do it....

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your quick reply! I'm still reading the webpage you referred......

Just let you that I tried three address locators see below, and I couldn�??t find addresses:
4 ELIZA CIRCLE, Lowell, MA 18540
130 CANAL ST 504, Fall River, MA 27210
(two examples from my table)

1. 10.0 North America Geocode Service ArcGIS online
2. 10.0 US Streets Geocode Service ArcGIS online
3. Street address locators from Atlanta.gdb (I downloaded from ArcGIS website)

You'll never get addresses in Maine to match against a locator built for Atlanta Georgia, unless you get lucky and Atlanta just happens to have the same address as Maine.  Even then, it'll map to Georgia.  I don't use ArcGIS Online for locating services so I'm not much help for that.  It's my understanding though to do batch geocoding with ArcGIS Online you need to subscribe (pay for) the service.

Hi Joe,

Thank you! Now I understand why I couldn't locate the addresses in my table. It shows me 0 match (total 50000 records).
