I am using version 10.2.2 provided by the university and need to manually create the locations of organic grocery stores for three cities for my project. My project is to determine the income range within walkable distance to those grocery stores. How do you create the location id or coordinates for those locations? There are no existing files, so I will have to create the attribute table myself. I do not have much experience in GIS, so much help would be appreciated!

Ah, if you have the addresses, geocode them. If you need the coordinates there's an option in the geocode setting to save X & Y values.

If you want a simple way to just get the coordinates of the grocery stores- you can use Google maps >> right click on top of the grocery stores >> choose 'What's Here" >> in the upper left of the map the coordinates will appear.
