General Procedures for Geocoding - streetpro_display - streetpro_navigation_premium - Latest

Follow the geocoding procedure below to geocode against the Classic table.

1. In MapInfo Pro, select Open from the File menu. The Open dialog box displays.

   MapInfo Pro can directly read files formatted in dBASE/FoxBASE, Lotus 1–2– 3, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, and Delimited ASCII.

   If your file is in a different format, save the file into delimited ASCII format and open it using that format. For more information on the Open dialog box, refer to the MapInfo Pro Reference Guide.

2. Open the appropriate Classic table. For example, to geocode your records in Maricopa County, Arizona, open the table geocoder. It does not need to be displayed in a Map window.
3. Use a refining table as required. For example, open the county ZIP Code table that ships with MapInfo Pro (uszipbdy.tab). It, too, does not have to be displayed in a Map window.
4. Select Table > Geocode, the Geocode dialog box displays. Fill in the dialog box with the appropriate tables and click OK.

   MapInfo Pro attempts to match the addresses in your database with the addresses in the Classic table and assigns the corresponding X and Y coordinates to your records.

5. To display your records, select Map > Layer Control and click the Addbutton to add your database to the Map window. To further enhance your view, you can select the Label checkbox to label your data on the Map.
