Intro to GIS, Lab 12: Geocoding

Geocoding

This week in lab, we worked on geocoding.  We were given this particular county, Lake County, and had to map all the locations of the EMS Stations.  We used their specific addresses to located them on the street network (and labeled them so).  We then focused our attention on the station located at 11 Yorkshire Drive.  We had to choose, three stopping points for the EMS along the street network and create the optimal travel path.  You can see this path in my inset map.  I encountered a few errors with the stop locations, which made me have to start all over again.  Frustrating, but valuable learning experience.
