MapInfo Pro

Kate,

Don't think you can use the Find Address option you've tried using with your own LLPG data.  Most of my clients who use their LLPG addresses either:

1) Take a data extract out of the LLPG software and create a layer from it within Pro and use the standard find command.
2) Maybe the LLPG system you use has a 'publish layer' type option built in - some do
3) Buy and add-on tool which takes a hub update file and uses that within Pro
4) Uses a database 'view' from within the LLPG software database and then ODBC connects to that so it's a live version of the data

There may well be other ways to use the data but I have clients doing the above.

Hi Kate

There are a few requirements that need to be met before you can use the Find Address, Geocode using Server, or Drivetime tools in MapInfo Pro. These tools all rely on our services at the backend.

1. You need to create a free account from the Services tab on the Backstage (access it via the Pro tab)
2. You need to be signed in using your account.
3. You need to point the services at the Precisely versions of the services. The Pitney Bowes versions have been taken down. The Precisely services typically start with https://api.precisely.com/.... You can check these via Options, Web Services, Geocode, Servers... on the Backstage. There are a bit more details in this post.

4. You need to be running MapInfo Pro v2019.3 Build 49 or v2021.1 Build 33. Check this Security Update Notice.

Alternatively, Nick had some good suggestions in his post.

In the MapInfo Marketplace, you can find a tool called Multi Search Tool that can help you search your data. Read more about this tool in this post: Multi Search Tool.
