Subject Decimal Addresses

Message Is there a locator type that will accept an address in the form of 123.5 Main ST? I've jut tried doing it with a US Streets type, where I made the lf/rf lt/rt addresses fields a floating point type, so the data is ranged from 0-89.9 and 0-90.0 on the other. When I try to geocode 35.5 or 62.8 or what ever, I don't get a hit.

This exercise is an attempt to geocode decimal mile posts along an interstate. What I need to do is get x,y locations for every 0.1 mile along a given stretch of road. What I'm hoping to do is have each mile post with an address of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 etc and then run a batch geocode of 'addresses' in the form of 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc.

Perhaps someone has done this using another method?

Thanks

Message You can create points along a line at a measured distance via ArcObjects, or you could create an event table if the line is a polyline M.

Message Joe,

Did you figure this out using address ranges rather than events? I have a very different application in mind that would require geocoding "house numbers" with decimals but for me I have to maintain address ranges and have to be able to match decimal addresses to them like you originally described. If you figured this out I could use some help.

Message Sorry, I never did. I was able to convince the client to accept the address range in whole numbers, thus implying the decimal. For example, 123 EB I-70 is at mile post location 12.3 on east bound I-70....

Message Oh well. I think I'll try to adapt the existing address locator that accepts Queens-style house coordinate addresses. I think it goes something like [cross_street]+"-"+[house_number], and I'm hoping I can have it split on a '.' rather than the hyphen. If anybody comes across this and knows, odds are I won't have it solved by whatever decade it is right now, so feel free to clue me in.
