User Guide
After ensuring that the input TAB file meets these requirements, you can create the point user
dictionary by following the steps outlined in
Creating a Custom User Dictionary on page 204 .
Note that all required columns must be mapped in the User Dictionary wizard. That is, map the
From_Left and To_Left columns to the Left Starting Address Number and Left Ending Address
Number fields, respectively. Map the From_Right and To_Right columns to the Right Starting
Address Number and Right Ending Address Number fields, respectively.
Data Access License
You must still have a valid access license to the data contained in the MapMarker Address
Dictionary when you are geocoding against your custom User Dictionary. For example, if you create
a dictionary of New York streets and addresses, you must purchase the New York or entire U.S.
MapMarker Address Dictionary.
CASS Standards
You cannot geocode to CASS standards using a custom User Dictionary. This also means that the
ParcelPrecision Dictionary cannot be used during CASS geocoding. Other available point address
dictionaries (such as Centrus
® Points and TomTom ® Points) can be geocoded using CASS.
Address Range Order
MapMarker determines the order of the address range based on a comparison of the start and end
addresses. The comparison produces the following results:
• If the end is greater than the start, the range is ascending
• If the start is greater than the end, the range is descending
• If the start is equal to the end, the range is ascending
