ArcGIS StreetMap Premium is an Esri product that is built using data from leading global and local street data suppliers. It offers users a ready-to-use map display and geocoding. The Street Map premium subscription will enable a user to perform unlimited geocoding over the USA, Canada, and Mexico region.

The  ArcGIS StreetMap Premium Locator Update is a quarterly release of a new style of locators similar to the ones used for the  ArcGIS Online World Geocoding Service. It contains several advancements such as:

• Improved address matching logic to deal with poorly formatted addresses and spelling errors;
• Geosearch and batch geocoding of points of interest, such as the White House, Golden Gate Bridge, or McDonald's;
• Faster batch geocoding performance;
• Ability to choose the Routing Location (the street centerline/entry point on the street) or the Address Location (the parcel centroid) for batch geocoding results;
• Ability to filter the batch geocoding results by specific geocoding match types, such as address types, postal, points of interest, and coordinates;
• Enhanced support for street intersection geocoding that recognizes not just physical but logical intersections, such as underpasses/overpasses, cul-de-sacs, and roundabouts;
• Enhanced support for matching house numbers that fall outside the existing street address house number range;
• More control in reverse geocoding over the type of returned results (points of interest, postal, etc.) when the locator is published as a service.
