I use UK's MapMarker quite extensively. It is very important to have stringent match
restrictions initially and then pass the database through by gradually relaxing them
in a specific order ... e.g. full address over zip/postcode. Otherwise, you will
indeed have many errors described by John below!

Thanks Sheila,
I did indeed find 5 of the 20 I manually inspected to be "false positives" and
intuitively it does make sense to do several passes.. is there an order to loosen the
restrictions that is considered best?
I had loosened each of the match restrictions first, then allowed multiple matches
(street address over zip4), then fallback, but just doing a single pass did a better
overall job (at least for my 10,000 addresses, I realize this is not an exact
science). I'll play around with different orders and see if I come up with something
better..
Thanks,
Eric
