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.
