The Geocode dialog box offers you the choice of geocoding your data automatically or interactively:
- When you geocode a table automatically, MapInfo Pro only geocodes exact matches and ignores all other records. This is the quicker method, since MapInfo Professional requires no user interaction once the geocoding process begins.
- When you geocode interactively, MapInfo Pro pauses when it fails to match a record and lets you select from a list of close matches.
For the best results, perform one geocoding pass with the Try Substitutions from
MAPINFO.ABB checkbox selected, and then another pass with it
de-selected.
Note: The StreetPro Data Installer updates the MapInfo.abbfile on
your system with new abbreviation information for the street suffix Avenue, and
renames your old MapInfo.abb has been renamed to MapInfo.abr. Both
files are in the MapInfo Pro program directory. Ensure that you are using the
updated file for the best geocoding results.
