What version of Pro are you using?  This is already supported so if you are having an issue geocoding without the unit type then it would be something we would like to know about and look into. Brad ... View more

At this time locators created with the Create Locator tool support suggestions for subaddresses when the entire unit is entered.  Going forward we are looking into supporting suggestions for subaddresses when a partial subaddress is entered.  It may require the user to enter #, apt, unit, or some type of unit type prior to showing suggestions but the team is looking to support this in an upcoming release of Pro.   Brad ...

By default the World Geocoding Service returns the Postal City name for addresses in the USA.  There is a way to change this by configuring a locator (view) on top of the World Geocoding Service and specifying that the preferred city should be the "Local City" or the "Matched City" and any results returned for that city will use one of those options instead of the "Postal City" where the data is available. More information about Locator (views) can be found here: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/geocode.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_BC67C473527D4AD4A51F24B5D1A6860C Brad ... View more

The ArcGIS World Geocoding Service already provides results for many Addresses, Points of Interest and businesses all combined into a single service.  No need for an additional service with just Places.  If all you need is places, you can use category filtering to restrict geocoding to only the desired locations for your application.  This can be done with a Locator (view) or more fine grained with the REST API.   https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/geocode/api-reference/geocoding-category-filtering.htm   Brad ...

Brian, At Pro 2.7 you now have the ability to adjust the side offset and end offset.   I would like to know more about the challenges that you have with spelling sensitivity with the new locators.  There isn't a need anymore to adjust the spelling sensitivity because we use a newer algorithm to do this which we have found produces very good results.  If there are cases where you are having challenges with this still, we would like to know about them so we can look at them but we don't have plans at this time to expose a property to adjust spelling sensitivity.   Brad ...

Have you attempted to create a multi-role locator in ArcGIS Pro with the Create Locator tool.  I believe many of the challenges that you are having with the classic locators in a composite locator will be addresses if you move to these new locators.  More information about this tool and how to create a multi-role locator can be found here:   https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geocoding/create-a-locator.htm https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geocoding/combine-multiple-layers-into-a-single-locator.htm   Brad ...

Joe,   I am trying to reproduce your issue via REST and can't.  Am I missing something?   https://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/findAddressCandidates?Address=375+North+Shore+Dr&Region=PA&outFields=*&searchExtent=%7B%22xmin%22%3A1011246,%22ymin%22%3A13425000,%22xmax%22%3A2487548,%22ymax%22%3A15124138,%22spatialReference%22%3A%7B%22wkid%22%3A32167%7D%7D&f=pjson   Brad ...

I am almost positive that 10.7.1 supports this property but I can't seem to track down the exact date/release it was installed to truly verify.   Brad ... View more
