Creating a Project-Based Batch File

After creating a MapMarker project, you can create a batch file to execute the project. Using a
project-based batch file is the only way to perform batch geocoding of a CSV or TXT file.

L

For TAB files, you can create a batch file without creating a project. This procedure is
described in

Creating a Batch Geocoding File from a TAB File

. However you can also use

the project-based batch file approach for TAB files.

First create the MapMarker project, as described in

Creating and Saving a Project on page 107

.

To create a batch file that executes a MapMarker project, follow these steps:

1. From the MapMarker menu, select File > Create Project-based Batch File.

2. In the Select Project Files dialog, navigate to the directory that contains the project file. Select

the project file that you want to run in batch and click Add to move it into the Selected Projects
column. You can run multiple projects from the same batch file. See

Multiple Pass Batch

Geocoding Strategy on page 110

.

3. Click OK to open the Save Batch File As dialog. Use the Save in drop-down selection to navigate

to the directory where you want to save the batch file. Accept the default file name or change the
name of the BAT file. Click Save.
