MapMarker Standard - Features
Geocode to Highways
MapMarker will consider in the geocoding process an input address that has the word 'exit' in it. This feature offers another geocoding option for locating people and/or sites.
Automatic and Interactive Geocoding
MapMarker runs in both automatic and interactive mode. Automatic mode may be used on the first pass to geocode most of the table. For unmatched records, interactive mode may be used to individually choose the best match from a list of suggestions.
Quick Geocode
See where potential matches fall on a map before selecting a candidate. This feature is accessible via a map button in the Interactive dialog and the Quick Find dialog. For geocoding without all of the setup, the Quick Geocode button allows you to 'click and go'. The table will be geocoded with the current preferences without displaying the Geocode dialog. This feature requires that the table be opened previously in MapMarker in order to set the columns and geocoding preferences.
Custom Address Dictionaries
Create and use customized address dictionaries - quickly and easily. This functionality uses the same indexing methods as the MapMarker address dictionary. Users can create large address dictionaries from MapInfo tables and geocode to them without significant performance degradation.
Airport Geocoding
Users have the ability to geocode airports using the abbreviated code (for example LAX for Los Angeles) either through GUI or the Programmatic API.
Address Dictionary
The address dictionary contains street addresses and ZIP+4 centroids for the entire U.S. With CD-ROM unlocking, customers can purchase and unlock the amount of matching data required - entire U.S., six state pack, or individual states.
Candidate Visualization
Allows users to see where potential matches fall on a map before selecting a candidate. This feature is accessible via a Map button in the Interactive dialog and Quick Find dialog.
Quick Find Address Tool
This search feature allows you to type in a single address record and MapMarker will return the complete address if it makes a match.
Batch Geocoding
MapMarker supports batch geocoding for processing one or more tables without constant user interaction. This feature is useful for overnight processing of large databases or when a table is updated regularly.
Multiple File Formats
MapMarker will read any MapInfo table (.tab format) or any dBase (.dbf) format table. Via ODBC connectivity, MapMarker can geocode data stored on remote databases - including Microsoft Access, Informix, SQL Server, Sybase and Oracle.
ZIP Code Centroid Matching
For quicker and higher match rates, you can request MapMarker to geocode your records to the ZIP Code centroid instead of at the street level. ZIP Code matching is beneficial to customers with large databases.
