Now that we've learned how to search for data in layers and related tables, we need to turn our attention to searching by using an address or the name of a place. With ArcGIS Runtime, it's possible to search using an address, such as 123 Main Street, via a process called geocoding. Geocoding is a common feature in modern mapping technologies, so it's important to master the concepts and techniques involved. In this chapter, we'll cover the process of geocoding, and then we'll learn about routing, which determines the shortest route between two locations (address, place, or coordinates). In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:
Online geocoding
Offline geocoding
