Geocode is a MapInfo Pro tool that is loaded by default when you install MapInfo Pro. This tool replaces the older Geocode using Server Utility. Using this tool, you can assign geographic coordinates to your data, which can be street addresses. Point values assigned to each address turn each record into a geographic object that MapInfo Pro can display on a map. Visualizing your records on a map can make the relationships among your data clearer. You can display your geocoded records against a street map, a postal code centroid map, a county map, or whatever is most appropriate to your needs. You can then use the wide variety of functions available in MapInfo Pro mapping software to perform querying, create thematic maps, create territories, and perform many other types of geographic analysis.

MapInfo Pro accomplishes this by connecting to:
  • Spectrum Spatial Server.
  • Precisely LI APIs.

You can load or unload the Geocode tool from the Tool Extensions drop-down list under the Tools group on the HOME tab.

Note: The older Geocode using Server utility is visible only when the Geocode Tool is not loaded. When loaded, the Geocode tool takes precedence and replaces the older version.

How do I access the Geocode Tool?

  1. There must be an open table for this command to work.
  2. On the SPATIAL tab, in the Create group, on the Geocode list, click Geocode using Server from the list.
