User Guide
In addition to being a powerful geocoder, MapMarker is also a suite of tools that allows you to
standardize your U.S. addresses, add spatial information and create points for your records, develop
standalone or client/server custom geocoding applications, and embed MapMarker functionality in
existing applications.
The MapMarker Desktop application, MapMarker server, and MapMarker developer tools have
geocoding capabilities that allow you to add geocoding functionality to your own desktop or Web
application.
MapMarker Features
MapMarker USA allows a great deal of flexibility in geocoding. This section briefly describes the
major features of MapMarker USA. This does not completely summarize all the MapMarker features

See the MapMarker USA Release Notes for new features, Address Dictionary updates, and
behavioral changes that you may notice with MapMarker. The Release Notes also describe fixes to
customer-reported issues and known issues that customers must be aware of. The MapMarker USA
Release Notes are located at the Pitney Bowes Software

Note You must have administrator rights to install MapMarker software. This is true for all
operating systems.
If you select the street level geocoding operation, MapMarker will match your full address record
against its Address Dictionary and/or User Dictionary (If you have created and selected a User
Dictionary.). This process will correct misspelled street addresses and city/town names. It can also
correct postal code information, or add postcodes if your data does not already include them. After
MapMarker completes the address cleaning step, it will geocode your records in accordance with
the other preferences you have set.
Addresses that are geocoded to a street level return an S or M result code. See
for a
description of these and other result codes.
