Interactive Geocoding

 

The Interactive Geocoding dialog is used to determine the problem with addresses that cannot be geocoded. The address that cannot be matched and its error are displayed in the grid on the left.

 

Streets

The grid on the right contains the streets for given address's ZIP code. If the Error String is Street not found, you can highlight the address on the left and scroll through the Further Info list to find the matching street manually. Either double-click on the street name or click on the street name and then click the Geocode Selected Record with Updated Street button to assign a new street to the address. If the address contains a ZIP code, you can check the Include streets from vicinities box to include all streets from the geocoding data source file. If this box is not checked, only streets within the address's ZIP code file are included.

 

Closest Address

Check the Use closest address number if exact match can't be found box to use the closest street number to the address's street number. For example, if your street number is 1453 and that street number does not exist in your file but 1455 does exist, 1455 will be used to locate the address.

 

If the Use closest address number if exact match can't be found box was not checked in the Assign Latitude/Longitude Coordinates to U.S. Address dialog, click the Geocode Above Records button after checking the Use closest address number if exact match can't be found box.

 

ZIP Code Centroid

Click the Geocode Above Records And Assign ZIP Centroid If No Match button if you would like to assign the ZIP code centroid coordinates to the address.
