Step 2: Input Options - mapmarker

For Geocoding:

After you have uploaded your address record file in Step 1: Upload File for Geocoding, you are ready to select options that define:

The input address fields you want to use for matching to the reference data.
Your desired output data.
The file name and format for your geocoded output record file.
The following procedure describes how to select your input options.

The page displays a snapshot of the first 5 records from your uploaded address record file. Check to confirm the uploaded content contains all the fields you were expecting.
Fields to Geocode
MapMarker reads the file column headers in your input file and tries to automatically map them with the required geocode input fields like Address, City, State, Postcode and Country. In case this mapping is not automatically done, click on a column header and drag and drop into an empty Fields to Geocode text box.
Note: It is highly recommended to map the Country field for accurate and faster results especially if the input file contains addresses from multiple countries.
To change the mapping, first remove the required field by clicking in the text box, then drag and drop the required column back again into the text box.
Note: A column can be mapped to only one text box. The same column cannot be mapped to multiple text boxes.
- To remove one of more of these fields, click in the text box.
- To include a field to be used in the matching process, click a column header and drag and drop into an empty text box.
