Displaying Geocoded Records in MapInfo Professional
After MapMarker geocodes your records, you can display them in MapInfo Professional or MapX to
analyze them geographically.
1. Close your table in MapMarker and open it in MapInfo Professional or add it to your MapX
geoset.
The points are displayed with color-coded symbols that represent the level of geocoding
precision for the record, as described below.
•
Magenta stars: all records matched to a single address point. No interpolation is required
(S8 result code)
•
Orange stars: all records geocoded an interpolated point along the candidate’s street
segment (S7 result code)
•
Purple stars: all records geocoded to point ZIP
®
locations (S6, M6 and Z6 result codes)
•
Maroon stars: records offset a specified distance along the perpendicular between the
original parcel/point to the associated street segment. (SC result code).
•
Green stars: all records geocoded to a street address (S5 and M5 result codes)
•
Blue stars: all records geocoded to a shape path centroid (S4, M4 result codes)
•
Yellow stars: all records geocoded to a ZIP + 4
®
centroid (S3, M3 and Z3 result codes)
•
Cyan stars: all records geocoded to a ZIP + 2 centroid (S2, M2 and Z2 result codes)
•
Red stars: all records geocoded to a ZIP Code™ centroid, including highway exits (S1, M1
and Z1 result codes)
•
Black stars: all records geocoded to intersections (Mx and Sx result codes)
•
Black circles: all records geocoded to a state geographic centroid (G1 result code)
•
Red circles: all records geocoded to a county geographic centroid (G2 result code)
•
Blue circles: all records geocoded to a city/town geographic centroid (G3 result code)
See
for an explanation of the types of result codes.
2. Add other map layers such as MapMarker Streets or ZIP Code boundaries to give your points a
geographic reference.
You are now ready to analyze your data geographically. using Pitney Bowes Software Inc.
mapping software.
When displaying your geocoded points over street data, use MapMarker Streets, StreetInfo, or
StreetPro display (products that use TIGER 2000 street geometry). When geocoding with
MapMarker, be sure to display over enhanced TIGER 2000 street geometry, such as MapMarker
Streets or StreetPro Enhanced or Display. This preserves the positional accuracy of the points with
respect to the street geometry.
