the purchased Address Dictionary. To use a customized dictionary, select the check box marked Use
User Dictionary and enter the path or browse to its location. You can geocode using both the
MapMarker Address Dictionary and a customized dictionary.
To use a customized dictionary, select the check box marked Use User Dictionary and type the
path or browse to its location. Check both boxes if you want to geocode using both the MapMarker
Address Dictionary and a customized dictionary.
When both the Address and the user dictionaries return a close match, the Address dictionary takes
precedence by default. To give precedence to user dictionary, see
Preferring User Dictionary
Matches .
The Use Address Point Interpolation check box enables address point interpolation during
geocoding. This technique allows MapMarker to accurately interpolate points along a street segment
in relation to address point candidates that are found on that segment. This process increases the
positional accuracy of the geocoded points. See
Interpreting S7 Result Codes on page 130 for a
description of the S7 results returned by address point interpolation.
Offset System Preferences
These Street Offset values specify the distance that geocoded points are offset from the original
interpolated points.
