<p class=MsoNormal>Perhaps someone out there can help me with an interesting
issue that my colleagues and I are currently attempting to tackle. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>First, a bit of background. We currently have a
dataset featuring very accurate (2 meter or better) alignments of all the roads
in Florida. These have been converted from our CAD maps and, as such,
lack a road names feature (which we very much desire). We have a dataset,
however, that contains (hypothetically) all the names of these roads.
Unfortunately, said dataset lacks the accuracy of the CAD-exported data.
Our wish is to essentially combine these two datasets, with the end result
featuring both highly accurate data and the road names. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have, as of yet, not had success with doing a spatial
join, as frequently the streets will be combined with the wrong name in areas
with a high density of roads (such as urban areas). Does anyone have any
ideas as to how to overcome this problem (without manually inputing the names
for every road in Florida)? Would converting labels to annotation be a
potential solution? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I appreciate any input!<o:p></o:p></p>
