Selecting records for post-geocoding

Records which have not been geocoded, or location data in which, for example, the street or the house number are missing or the exact address which has been found is not exactly the same as the original address can be post-geocoded.

Before starting post-geocoding, select the records which are to be post-geocoded from the address list.

 

• Open the database (see Open Database).

Selection based on included location data.

• 
  Use the drop-down list to choose the data records for which you wish to perform post-geocoding.

  You have the following selection options:

   

  • All records
  • All geocoded records
  • All non-geocoded records
  • All geocoded records without location precision

    Display of all records for which there is a postcode, but not a location.
    

  • All geocoded records without street precision

    Display of all records for which a postcode and location are available, but for which there is no street or house number or which are not identical to the street and house number of the imported address.

  • All geocoded records without house number precision

    Display of all records for which a postcode, a location and a street are available, but for which there is no house number or for which the house number is not identical to that of the imported address.

  • All marked records

    Display of all marked records.

    Tip: You can mark data records in the list with a mouse click + SHIFT or a mouse click + CTRL.

• Now start the automatic or manual geocoding (see Post-geocoding of records).

Selection based on the matching of the found and original addresses

In the Info column of the address list, different coloured symbols are used to show whether there is a difference between the location data in the imported address and the address on the map. Addresses moved manually are also identified.

If the symbol is missing in the Info column, this means that the address could not be geocoded.

Symbol	Description
	The imported address data matches the allocated address on the map.
	The imported address was manually post-geocoded on the map.
	Small differences between the imported address data and the allocated address on the map. For example, this may occur if the imported address has a house number which has not been found by PTV Map&Guide internet in the location database. The data set is then geocoded on the centre of the street.
	The imported data record was allocated a position on the map using the coordinates given.
	There are relatively large differences between the imported address data and the assigned address on the map.
