This tutorial introduces you to the ESRI ® StreetMap™ extension to ArcGIS™. It will introduce you to the basic techniques for viewing StreetMap USA data, found on the Data and Maps DVD, using the StreetMap geocoding service and finding a route.
Exercise 2 shows how you can convert the compressed StreetMap data to a shapefile or geodatabase feature class. Exercise 3 will show you how to create a geocoding service in an ArcSDE™ geodatabase. Exercise 4 shows how to use the Find Route function in StreetMap.
This tutorial assumes that you are already familiar with using ArcCatalog™ and ArcMap™. You should know how to copy data to a new location and add data to a map. If you’re not familiar with geocoding, first complete the Geocoding tutorial. If you’re new to GIS or feel you need to refresh your knowledge, please take some time to read Getting Started with ArcGIS.
