User Guide
Select the Log File tab to control log file options.
To specify a different log file name, select the Specify Log File Name check box in the Log File tab
of the Geocode dialog. You may enter a path as well as a name for the log file (for example,
c:\temp\Us_addr.log). If the path specified is invalid, MapMarker creates MapMarker.log in the My
Documents\MapMarker USA folder.
In Windows 2003/XP, you must close the log file from a previous session before you can open the
table it refers to in MapMarker. If you do not, a message that the table may not have read/write
access is displayed. Close the table in the text editor to proceed.
In addition to creating a log file with the results of the geocoding operation, you can generate a table
summary that shows the results of the geocoding. To do so, select Table > Table Summary and
specify the column in your table that contains the georesults of the active table. The Save As dialog
appears allowing you to save this information as a text file.

Match Settings Dialog
The Match Settings tab lets you specify how precisely MapMarker matches input addresses against
the Address Dictionary. By adjusting match settings, you can control whether MapMarker requires a
very precise match, a less restrictive match, or an intermediate level of matching. The best choice
for you depends on the nature of your data and the requirements of your application.
