When a target record has an address which is not in any of the ranges in the source table, MapInfo Pro will not be able to match it. Such an address might fall into a gap in range numbers or it might be beyond the ends of the ranges. There are three possibilities for handling this problem:

  • You can enable the option to Use The Closest Address Number in the Geocode Options dialog box. MapInfo Pro will then geocode unmatched address numbers to the closest existing range, placing the record at the center of that range.

    or

  • You can deal with such cases in Interactive mode. MapInfo Pro will give you a list of known address ranges. Select the closest address range from the list or click Ignore to ignore the record.

    or

  • It is possible that the address is for a street segment that was added after your source map was made. In that case, you may want to edit the source map so that it reflects the full range of addresses for that street.
