At some point in working with GIS, you will be asked to analyze data that only comes from a table of addresses. This is both quick and easy through a process called geocoding. Geocoding is performed through the use of a locator. There are many locators that have been created and you can even create your own.

However, this task sheet will show you how to geocode addresses using the ArcGIS Online Locator. This requires an ArcGIS Online account, including trial accounts.
