Returning Abbreviated Addresses
MapMarker USA 25 can return an abbreviated alias address (maximum of 30 characters) if the
standardized base input address exceeds 30 characters. Abbreviated address returns are available
as a user-selected option on the Match Settings dialog. This information is returned in the standard
Address1 output field.
