Reverse geocoding address locator besides MGRS

[johnpolo]

I am using geocoding for first time. Actually, reverse geocoding. I have roughly 4,000 points that I want to find addresses for. I used the Reverse Geocoding tool (Geocoding Tools) and it worked. The thing is, I only have a MGRS option for Input Address Locator, which gives me "military coordinates". I would like regular U.S. address, like '123 Pine St, Pine, CA'. How do I get the Reverse Geocoding tool to give me addresses in that format. Or is there another tool that will convert the military coordinates to the format I want?

Hi

You should connect to ArcGIS Online in your session and use the World Service. you will get street addresses.

Bruce, thank you for the answer. I had the Geocoding toolbar open and it prompted me to log in. I was prompted, so I am connected to ArcGIS Online. From there, I have access to the World Geocode Service through the Geocoding toolbar, but I need the Reverse Geocoding tool. I found this related thread and one of the respondents said:

"

Choose the Use GIS Services option and then for the Server URL on the next page, enter:

http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/services

"

I followed the directions in that thread and I thought I was connected to the server, but I get the following error message:

"ERROR 000732

Input Address Locator: Dataset

tasks.arcgisonline.com\Locators\TA_Streets_US.GeocodeServer does not exist or is not supported

"

It seems like it's a live server when I navigate to it through the folders, so I don't know what is causing this error. Is the server changed?

Hi

You should add the World Service from geocode.arcgis.com, not tasks, then you will have this GIS Server:

GIS Servers\arcgis on geocode.arcgis.com (user)\World.GeocodeServer

It works with the Reverse Geocode tool, but be aware it will consume credits.

Bruce, got it now. Thanks!
