Geocoding Shortcut: Google Maps to ArcMap

Geocoding a dataset to produce a georeferenced layer requires access to a basemap to which the location data is tied. For example, if you have a list of addresses, you will need a street file with address ranges or a parcel database with addresses in order to geolocate that list. You might also be asked to create a map showing certain locations and will be tasked with creating a dataset from scratch.

In my task, I was handed a photocopied map with handwritten notes. The task: recreate a map of England with select locales. The map (see below) had been hand marked with the desired locations. Getting a boundary layer for the United Kingdom was fairly simple but I didn’t have ready access to a layer of locations. My solution was to create a list of those locations and geocode them. Since I didn’t have a basemap I could load into ArcMap to use for the geocoding, I decided on a workaround using Batchgeo.com and Google Maps.

 

 

Webinar: Viewing Earth Hyperspectrally - What's the World Made of?

Register:
Tuesday, March 8
8 AM (EST) | 1 PM (EST)

Is your organization moving beyond the multi-spectral realm into the world of hyperspectral remote sensing? Hyperspectral sensors such as HYDICE, Hyperion and AVIRIS collect data across a vast portion of the electromagnetic spectrum resulting in as many as 200-300 narrow, contiguous bands - a major difference for organizations used to the 3-4 broad, separated bands commonly used in multispectral imagery.
 

Geospatial Revolution Project (Episode 3)

Το πανεπιστήμιο The Pennsylvania State University, παρουσίασε το project Geospatial Revolution. Πρόκειται για ένα ντοκιμαντέρ που θα ολοκληρωθεί σε 4 επεισόδια. Τα δύο πρώτα επεισόδια κυκλοφορούν ήδη και εδώ θα βρείτε το 3ο επεισόδιο που μόλις κυκλοφόρησε! Σκοπός του project είναι η δημόσια προβολή της δύναμης που κατέχει η χωρική πληροφορία. H Penn State Public Broadcasting είναι υπεύθυνη για την υλοποίηση του project.
