A Closer Look at Multiple Matches
A multiple match is when MapMarker finds more than one record in the Address Dictionary that
covers the same address range. Multiple match candidates are potentially strong matches, but none
of them stands out enough from the others to be considered the definitive match. You can control
how you want MapMarker to respond when it encounters a multiple match.
Select the Multiple Match tab to control the multiple match options.
The Multiple Match Options table describes multiple match preferences and how they are used to
filter multiple match results.
Multiple Match Options
Multiple Match Option Description
Do Not Match Click this option to disallow any matches for the record if
multiple matches occur. During interactive geocoding,
MapMarker stops at that record and waits for your
response. Sometimes it finds multiple matches, even
though there is a candidate that appears to be an exact
match. In this situation, it is important to examine the
ranges associated with the candidate to make the best
judgement about whether to match to the candidate.
Accept First Click this option to accept the first candidate for the match.
