Using Quick Geocode
Quick Geocode is a shortcut to geocoding your table with MapMarker. Use it to geocode previously
opened tables with a single click. For example, use Quick Geocode on tables that you update
frequently and need to geocode new records. Quick Geocode follows the geocoding preferences
and system preferences settings you specify to carry out the geocoding operation.
Quick Geocode is available after you open a table in MapMarker and set the input and output
columns, geocoding, and system preferences. You can geocode the entire table or a portion of the
table. When you close the table, the settings are written to the table’s metadata and the system
registry, preserving your preferences for the next time you need to geocode the table.
L
MapMarker attempts to geocode all records in the table during a Quick Geocode pass,
regardless of their previous geocoding status.
Finding Address with Quick Find
The MapMarker Quick Find feature provides a fast way to determine the correct address for a single
record. If there are several match candidates to choose from, you can view them on a map to help
determine the best choice. Quick Find does not geocode the record. It simply attempts to match the
address to the address dictionary and return potential matches to help you confirm or correct the
address.
Quick Find can generate the following kinds of results.
• street geocoding
• street intersection geocoding
• postal fallBack
• geographic fallback
• street browse
• place browse
Quick Find can also be used as a method to browse the Address Dictionary for the correct spelling
of a street name. Provide the postal code and at least the first letter of the street and click the
Browse button. The city and state fields are optional. MapMarker returns a list of streets that meet
your criteria.
