ArcGIS StreetMap Premium (SMP) provides enriched street data for use in ArcGIS software. Features include multi-scale, high-quality cartographic maps for display; accurate geocoding (batch, reverse, and simple search); and optimized routing, driving directions, and network analysis. SMP is designed specifically for use with ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcGIS Enterprise. SMP is based on commercial street reference data from HERE and INCREMENT P. Data is available for North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific...the University Library has purchased an annual subscription to the North American dataset.
The SMP package consists of a file geodatabase containing street data for North America along with several associated datasets such as county and municipal boundaries. SMP will be useful for any WU researcher who needs to perform routing or geocoding analyses on their data and needs to use a current dataset to accomplish these tasks. In most cases this type of analysis would be done at the beginning of a project and access to the SMP dataset would be temporary. The researcher would connect to the dataset, run their analysis and save the results, then the access could be terminated. Processing results such as geocoded points or network routes would be available as stand-alone data that could be further used for analysis or mapping in their projects. Some users may require more sustained access in order to facilitate periodic processing for instance geocoding a new set of addresses as a project progresses.
Processing that requires HIPAA compliance to maintain patient anonymity would require secure data transfers between the user’s system and the data storage location. This could be accomplished either via secure communication protocols between systems or through a fully local installation behind the user’s firewall.

SMP data is available for use by current WU students, faculty, and staff in ArcGIS Desktop (10.6.1 or later), ArcGIS Pro (2.4.3 or later), and ArcGIS Enterprise. The Library license includes a limited number of individual seats and 2 ArcGIS Enterprise seats. The SMP product includes a File Geodatabase (FGDB) containing reference data and an extensive set of detailed road features. The geodatabase also includes a network dataset configured for routing, and pre-built address locators for geocoding. Other pages in this guide will explain; how to obtain access to these data for use in your GIS projects, how to perform geocoding and routing tasks, and how to save your results for downstream processing or visualizations.
