User Guide
Consider the following example.
MapMarker determined that there are multiple matches for 981 Howard St. in San Francisco,
even though it appears one candidate matches the record. By clicking Ranges and scrolling
through the list of ranges, you see that there are four address ranges shown that cover 981
Howard St.
Because the multiple match setting is set to Do Not Match, MapMarker stops geocoding at this
point and waits for you to choose the match or ignore it. By clicking Geocode in this example,
MapMarker generates an S result code, which means a single close match was made.
If the restriction had been set to one of the other choices in the Multiple Match tab, this record
would not appear in the Interactive dialog because MapMarker would geocode it automatically. If
the setting was Accept First, Pick Street Address over ZIP + 4, or Pick ZIP + 4 over Street
Address, the result code would be an M result. For more on result codes, see
Pick Street Address overZIP+4
Click this option to accept the candidate with the most
accurate street level match.
Pick ZIP+4 over Street Address
Click this option to accept the candidate with the most
accurate postal code level match.
