Use the following menu item before you geocode: Tools-Locate-Locate by Address-Address(tab)-Mathing Method-Very Strict(scroll down);
The default method is 'Normal'. Also, check the 'Save Standardization' box. Adbf file is created that has a column with details of what type of "strictness" was used (see below). Select the ones that make the best sense. This AI approach to geocoding from Caliper is superior to any other I have seen in the industry. Code What it means... A The record was located successfully, without asking you for help R The record was not located automatically U Maptitude offered you several possible matches, and you chose one X Maptitude offered you several possible matches, and you rejected them all I The input address was identified as an intersection S The street name or alternate name did not match exactly N The street number did not match exactly Z The input ZIP Code was not found in the Streets file Match Result What it means... A The record matched a street feature perfectly and was located automatically AS The record was located successfully, even though the street name did not match perfectly US The street name did not match perfectly, Maptitude offered you several choices, and you accepted one of them RSN The record was not located because neither the street name nor the street number matched RSSN The record was not located because the street name, the alternate street name, and the street number did not match AI The address was interpreted as an intersection, and was located automatically etc...
