From csaha at imsa.edu Tue Oct 9 18:57:59 2012 From: csaha at imsa.edu (csaha@imsa.edu) Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2012 11:57:59 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [Freegis-list] geocode address Message-ID: <2844.143.195.3.42.1349801879.squirrel@staff.imsa.edu> Need to geocode the student addresses using the regular 5-digit zip codes. Need to find the accurate point on the map, so in a Latitude and Longitude environment that should suffice for our specific data needs with respect to answering the question of what students belong to what congressional district. I know ArcGIS for Desktop software will geocode the student addresses and get points on the map. What is the equivalent tool that I can use to achieve my first goal? Then we need to create two other layers one for the representative districts and the other for the senate districts. Then we have to use the Spatial Join tool in the toolbox to combine the tables and give us one attribute table that includes all of our geocode located points and what congressional district they belong to. So what should I use to solve the following issue?
