The Find Route wizard lets you find routes between points using a variety of methods. You can find an optimized route, which is the most efficient travel route between the points you select, or you can find a route from point to point based on an order you select. You can set the points, or stops, by clicking the map with your mouse, by adding them from a layer, or by geocoding them.

The StreetMap USA dataset includes a routing service. It can be found on the ESRI Data & Maps/StreetMap USA DVD in the usa\streetmap_usa\streets folder.

Click the Define Stops tab and click the Add Stop button. The ArcMap Find dialog box appears. Click the Addresses tab and click the StreetMap USA address locator. This address locator is found in the \ArcGIS\streetmap_usa\streets folder. Type an address in the Street or Intersection field. Add the City, State, and Zip code information.

Click the Find button, then right-click the found location and click Add as Stop to StreetMap Route. You can also use this context menu to zoom to the point on the map or to add the point as a map graphic. The highest-scoring found location appears on top.

Repeat these steps to find another address. Add other stops to the list and click Cancel on the Find dialog box when you are finished. When you click Find Route, the wizard calculates the route and draws it on the map.

Click the View Directions tab to see detailed directions for your route that includes distance in miles.
