Research Guides: ArcGIS Pro: Plot Addresses and XY Data

Geocode Addresses

Geocoding is the process of transforming location information (e.g., street addresses, place names, etc.) into geocoordinate data (e.g., latitude/longitude) that can be plotted and symbolized on a map.

Reverse geocoding is the process of taking latitude and longitude values from a map layer and converting them into street addresses or place names.

Add XY Data

Add X,Y Coordinate Data as a Map Layer
You can use the XY Point Data option under Add Data in ArcGIS Pro if you have coordinate data (e.g, latitude/longitude or other coordinate system data) and want to plot the locations on your map.

Note: Make sure to specify the correct output coordinate system for your x,y layer before creating your points. If you forget to specify a coordinate system for your data, you can use the Define Projection tool to define the coordinate system.
