...simply because ESRI have not chosen to standardise their code samples... Ummm... errr... ahh... maybe it's time to do so? ... View more

Maybe it was just conventional wisdom to not to edit them.  @VinceAngelo ; You are stuck on a desert island and you can only have one data structure.  Coverage or Shape File: which do you choose? ... View more

I can't confirm (or deny) what you are asking, but if my memory serves me and it's up to a bet, my money is on what you think.  Good ol' ArcInfo  maintained Area & Perimeter but a user could not edit those values. ... View more

That is odd; I am in the exact same situation and just signed up our agency for the community maps program.  Perhaps I need to email them and clarify our area of operations. ... View more

We enter new streetnames as they are built in new subdivisions Which is exactly what we do, but the problem there with the ESRI Solution is the domain gets changed with each new entry, and only the domain owner can change a domain in an Enterprise GDB.  If you have more than one editor logging on, that won't work. Please don't feel I was passing on your input in any way if that is what you meant That's really the beauty of this forum: the advice is free so you get what you pay for!   😉 ... View more

Don't get me wrong, I understand the need for spelling accuracy for street names. I just have to wonder if a post-processing event that looks at spellings and provides an error list wouldn't be a better approach.  In my area of operation we have numbered streets as well as named streets, so you might type in 100, but the street you are looking for is 10060 so that's a long list to plow through. The Data Reviewer comes to mind, but even that uses a domain to basically check spelling. I'd opt for for some sort of search cursor that compares every [new] entry to a list of names and if it finds it, great, otherwise return the incorrect spelling and a warning.  How often is the domain updated?  Do the field workers ever enter new street names that may not yet appear in the domain?   ...

Street Types I can see, but all the different street names is a tall order. We deploy ESRI's Address Data Managment Solution and it uses a domain of street names.  I opted not to use it at all.   ... View more

Doesn't having 1200 values more or less negate the purpose of a domain?  I can't imagine scrolling through that many choices. ... View more

I worked in 9-1-1 for several years and performed the same sort of analysis for a number of departments. What’s the cost of a new station?  What’s the cost of a Network Analyst extension?  If your chief is serious about a data driven decision on where to put his next station he should get out his check book and be done with it.  ...

@ShanaBritt   ...geocode the table of addresses using Single Field for the input address fields.  Ah ha.  I see what you mean now.  Single field, and not parsed address fields.  I can do that. ...the recommended workflow when your input addresses don't have zones.  I didn't know that; is that documented somewhere? I'm just shutting things down for the week, but I'll try to do some testing next week and let you know. ... View more

@ShanaBritt If I build a locator that requires some sort of zone, be it a city, county, zip, whatever and pass addresses to it without zones, I'm pretty sure I won't get any matches.  That's what I discovered early on with the new style locators. ... View more

What about the other conditions?  The default output is a shape file; you need to specify the FGDB and feature class name. Create a file geodatabase on your local C drive and out put to it. That should eliminate a few variables like permissions and output size: how many addresses are you trying to geocode? ... View more
