I've got a novice question about interactive geocoding, and I don't see
a clue in the Mapinfo Professional 5.5 manual:
Would someone please tell me
1) what, if anything, controls the fields which are displayed during
interactive geocoding,
2) and how I can control that function?
Details:
I'm geocoding a file of ticket & pass outlets, against a map file of San
Antonio streets (Bexardsl.TAB if you're interested). Each street is
represented by several segments.
In the file to geocode, street number is in the 2nd column and street
name is in the 3rd column.
In the map file (Bexardsl.tab), street name is in a column separated
from (four) odd and even street number columns (left and right sides:
leftadd1, leftadd2, rightadd1, rightadd2.)
I understand the usual display while interactive geocoding is executing,
is street and street number, so I can examine the address and pick the
most appropriate one.
But that's not what is happening. It's just displaying
"Fredericksburg Road" twenty times
and not "2000 Fredericksburg Road"
"3000 Fredericksburs Road" etc.
Naturally I have problems picking out the correct segment of
Fredericksburg Road. Or any other street or road.
I CAN arbitrarily pick one from the display, let it run to the end, then
click-and-drag to move my map pin; but there are a lot of points to deal
with, and with this non-solution the initial geocoding errors are easily
several miles.
Would someone please tell me
1) what, if anything, controls the fields which are displayed during
interactive geocoding,
2) and how I can control that function?
