The only input data that the Geographic Coding Plus requires to obtain the geographic match is the ZIP Code. The location of the ZIP Code in your CODE-1 Plus output record is specified in the ZIP Code and ZIP + 4 Add-on Locations screen. Optionally, you may provide a ZIP + 4 Code for more precise results. Match result information from a Geographic Coding match attempt will be stored on your CODE-1 Plus output records according to your specification on the Geographic Coding Storage screens.
The following figure shows the relationship between the Geographic Coding screens in CODE-1 Plus.
