Adding an ArcGIS Online geocoding service

In order to use the reverse geocoding functionality offered by the Find Route dialog box when adding a stop with the Name locations added with tool using nearest address option enabled, an address locator must be specified in the Options tab. This can be any file-based address locator supported by ArcGIS, an ArcGIS Online geocoding service, or an ArcGIS for Server geocode service.
