unmatched and previously matched records, and the number of matched records by result code.
Information from subsequent passes is appended to the top of the log file. The log file size limit is
1 MB.

summary information for the desired table, select the appropriate table to make it active
and select View > Summary.
To view information about previous geocoding passes, view the log file by selecting View > Log file.

Geocoding Your Table Interactively
MapMarker allows you to geocode records interactively by choosing from a list of candidates. Using
interactive geocoding, you can expand the search for a match, map potential matches, move back
up the table to an earlier record, and correct your records directly from the MapMarker dialog.
L
Interactive geocoding is not completely interactive. MapMarker attempts to geocode the row
first. Only when it fails to find a single close match is the record displayed in the Interactive
dialog.
1. Do one of the following:
• Select Table > Geocode from the MapMarker menu.
• Click .
• Click the right mouse button, and select Geocode from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Geocode Precision group, select Street Level and select Interactive from the Method
drop-down list.
