Data quality built in
MapMarker corrects, standardizes, and geocodes address information, all in one step. By combining postal data with your choice of spatial data files from the world's leading data providers, it generates the most comprehensive set of address-level geocodes available, and improves your overall data quality in the process.
Conflation for greater accuracy
Other geocoding solutions draw from a single database. MapMarker can combine the data from disparate data sources, including spatial data from TomTom, NAVTEQ®, U.S. Census TIGER, Centrus Points, TeleAtlas Points, New Neighborhoods data set and your own street centerline data. This conflation process means more matches, fewer false positives, and faster CASS certifiable results.
This conflation process means more matches, fewer false positives, and faster CASS certifiable results.
More point-level precision
Cascading match logic enables MapMarker to geocode at the highest level of precision. It starts at point level, proceeding until it returns the most accurate latitude and longitude assignment available. In every case, it indicates the accuracy level utilized, showing the confidence you can place in the result.
