Street Intersections and Customized User Dictionaries
When geocoding to street intersections with a custom User Dictionary, MapMarker cannot recognize
the intersections if one or more of the segments that make up the intersection does not have an
endpoint at the intersection. This can happen when you create the User Dictionary from a
customized street table in which some segments that terminate at intersections do not have
endpoints (Example 1).
Example 1: Intersection in custom User Dictionary does not have endpoints for all segments.
MapMarker does not recognize this as an intersection.
Example 2: Intersection in TIGER-based Address Dictionary includes endpoints for all segments.
MapMarker geocodes to this intersection.
Creating a Custom User Dictionary
In the MapMarker Desktop Application, use the User Dictionary Wizard to create a User Dictionary.

If you installed the MapMarker Developer Edition, you can also use the MapInfo User
Dictionary Utility that is provided with the Server product. See the MapMarker 25 Developer
Guide for detailed information and instructions on using this Utility.
Using the MapMarker User Dictionary Wizard
The Desktop Application includes a wizard to walk you through the user dictionary creation process.
To create a user dictionary:
1. Choose File > Create User Dictionary. The User Dictionary Wizard (Step 1 of 3) dialog
appears.
