Adding a file-based address locator

In order to use the reverse geocoding functionality offered by the Find Route dialog box when adding a stop with the Name locations added with tool using nearest address option enabled, an address locator must be specified in the Options tab. This can be any file-based address locator supported by ArcGIS, an ArcGIS Online geocoding service, or an ArcGIS Server geocode service.

In this topic, you will learn how to add a file-based address locator in the Find Route dialog box.

See A quick tour of geocoding for more information about geocoding in ArcMap.

  1. Click the Find Route button Find Route on the Tools toolbar.
  2. Click the Options tab.
  3. Check the Name locations added with tool using nearest address check box.
  4. Click the browse button File Open next to the Choose an address locator drop-down arrow.
  5. Navigate to the desired locator, select it, then click Add.

    The locator is listed in the Add an address locator drop-down list.
