using a spatial join and then just having to qc areas where the proximity
labeled them incorrectly. I tried to use the import CAD annotation tools but
the scale was always way off no matter how I set it and ended up causing me
more work. I’m very interested to see what others have to say! Kristal<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>First,
a bit of background. We currently have a dataset featuring very accurate
(2 meter or better) alignments of all the roads in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Florida</st1:place></st1:State>. 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></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>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 <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Florida</st1:place></st1:State>)? Would
converting labels to annotation be a potential solution? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
