Geocoding involves processing data with some type of geographic information (address, postal code, etc.) in order to derive coordinate information so that spatial objects (i.e. points or symbols) can be created and displayed (if desired).
See Attachment
?MapInfo Pro has multiple ways to geocode data.
MapInfo ?Pro can:
1) Create points directly if supported coordinate information is present in the data
With a table containing coordinates open in Pro, go to Spatial>Create >Create Points and select the X (Longitude) and Y (latitude) fields.
?2) Join a non-mappable table to a mappble table of points via SQL Select:, based on a join between columns
(?Map > Selection > SQL Select)
??3) Geocode using a 2nd mappable table like StreetPro EAL, TIGER Street Data or Multinet 5-digit ZIPCODES, etc.
