Frequently asked questions

GeoPinpoint Suite is software that attaches geographic coordinates (X and Y) to records in a client database by matching database fields against a DMTI proprietary geo-reference database, enabling map visualization, analysis, or location-based applications.

For the software and DMTI Geo-reference database, the minimum requirements are a Pentium 100 or higher processor, MS Windows, 512 MB RAM, and 750 MB disk space. With Scrubber/Soundex tables, 850 MB disk space is required.

No, GeoPinpoint Suite v5.4 and v6.3 (or greater) cannot be installed and run on the same machine because they use the same file (.dll) names.

The Parser module evaluates address information, parses and standardizes data, thereby improving address-matching rates. It specifically accommodates Canadian addressing methods and can interpret French addressing standards.

The 'In-Between Address' geocoding function allows users to geocode addresses that fall between two known addresses on a street segment, providing more precise location data.

GeoPinpoint Suite includes a 'Zero Address segment geocoder' function that allows users to geocode to streets which are completely non-addressed (i.e., where the range for all segments is 0 to 0).
