[gis_info] new Address Locator / Geocoding Service [GEO Web Services Update]

[ENDRULAT Erik * CIO]

GEO has just published a new address locator web service<http://navigator.state.or.us/ArcGIS/rest/services/Utilities/gc_Composite_10/GeocodeServer> that will replace our existing<http://navigator.state.or.us/ArcGIS/rest/services/Utilities/gc_composite/GeocodeServer>, outdated service. The new service is a composite locator, and includes address point data that GEO has gathered from local jurisdictions, as well as the other locators listed in the table below. This service can be used for batch geocoding in ArcGIS Desktop or as a locator service within interactive web applications.

This composite geocode service is currently based on the following individual locators:
