Address Points: Improving Efficiency for Local Governments
Track: Editing and Data Compilation
Authors: Mike Kellison

GIS have traditionally relied upon street centerline or parcel geocoding to determine the location of an address. An accurate and complete set of address points can prove to be a superior geocoding solution. Address points can be created from a city government’s multiple, internal spreadsheets and databases, utilizing Microsoft Excel and GIS in combination with street centerline and parcel geocoding, resulting in a master address file and address points that can be used citywide.
