multiple equal close results, the geocoding server can present you with interactive options so you can
select among possible matches or change your input. Further, these web services allow you to set
multiple matching conditions when more than one record matches the records you are geocoding and
set offsets for placing points right in the geocode properties.
For companies and organizations that use MapMarker and Envinsa servers as a geocoding engine, you
can now take advantage of the geocoding servers available to your whole enterprise. If your organization
makes this server available on your intranet or over the Internet, you can use our geocoding web services
from within MapInfo Professional to perform more sophisticated and accurate data geocoding.
To use MapInfo Professional with a geocoding server, you need MapMarker Java Server 4.0 or later or
Envinsa 4.0 or later. MapInfo Professional supports any geography that is supported by Envinsa currently.
Envinsa supports MapMarker Java Server V2, V3, and V4. Keep in mind that any Envinsa server only
supports the data that is installed.
Before you can access a MapMarker or Envinsa geocoding service, you need to connect MapInfo
Professional to its server. This process gives MapInfo Professional all the information it needs to access
the geocoding service. You need to enter this information only once per service.
