[GIS] Pick Address From Map tool won’t work

arcgis-10.0arcgis-desktopgeocoding

We just installed Service Pack 5 to our ArcMap 10 software. This allowed us to build a composite address locator based on the new streetfile and address pointfile built by our area 911 authority.

The new locator works very well, but when I am manually rematching a recently geocoded file and try to use the "Pick Address From Map" tool, the record shows as matched in the table, the XY data is added, but there is no point on the map.

I geocoded the same data set with both our old and the new locator, then tried using the "Pick Address From Map" tool on each of the resulting shapefiles. I attempted to place the same unmatched record in each instance. If I use our old locator to do the original geocoding the tool works just fine, which indicates that this is a locator-specific problem.

Again, in the shapefile resulting from our old locator the tool worked perfectly; in the shapefile resulting from the new locator the tool didn't work at all. I can't figure out why.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the tool would not work, or any idea how to repair it?

Best Answer

It appears there is an issue with rematching from composite locators.

Seems you just have to repair the participating locators one by one and then you should be able to manually rematch.
