Batch Geocoding Considerations
This section describes how batch geocoding handles information in your table.
Batch geocoding is available only for MapInfo TAB files. Batch geocoding of delimited text files and
remote database (ODBC) files is not supported.
Batch File Contents for TAB and Other File Types
A batch files based on TAB files can contain the parameters listed in the table: Batch Geocoding
Parameters for TAB File . However, a project-based batch file (used for Delimited and Text files),
simply identifies and runs the project file, and does not use any other parameters. For project-based
batch files, the preferences and parameters are encapsulated in the project file itself.
/WIDE_SEARCH Add this parameter to enable wide search; omit parameter to
disable wide search. This can be used with any match mode
except CASS mode.
/SEARCH_FINANCE Perform street level geocoding within the Finance Area in
which the input street is located.
Note that if more than one /SEARCH parameter is specified in
the batch file, the last one listed takes effect. Also, CASS
mode enforces Finance Area search and other search level
parameters are ignored.
/SEARCH_CITY Perform street level geocoding within the city that the input
street is located.
/SEARCH_EXPANDED Expand the search to a given radius from the input address.
