Geocoding or Moving a Record's Location
XData is available only in Street Atlas USA® Plus.
During the import process, the program attempts to geocode all records. This means
it places the symbol for the record on specific map coordinates (based on address or
coordinate information). Once you have imported your data, you may want to make
changes to the data and manually geocode the record(s) to the new location(s). How
an item has been located displays in the Located To column of the dataset's records.
To Move a Record's Location
Use the following steps to move a record's location.
1. Click the XData tab.
2. Click Query.
3. Select the dataset you want to view from the Use Dataset drop-down list.
4. Select Records by Placement from the Table Display drop-down list.
5. Select All Placed Records from the Record Placement drop-down list.
6. Scroll right to the Located To column and view how each record in the
dataset was placed.
Any item listed as Not Placed or ZIP Code can be manually geocoded.
7. Select the record you want to move.
8. To manually place a record that has not been placed on the map, drag the
record from the table to the location on the map. The Located To field for that
record now reads as Manual Placement.

Right-click the record(s) and then click GeoCode Record(s).

save the new dataset for use in XMap (as a dataset) or as a text file.
