Theatre Manager will geocode all patron's addresses listed in the Address Tab of the patron recorder. There is a setting in System Preferences (edit Tab) that determines where Theatre Manager will get geo-location data for addresses. Choices are:

• to get generalized information from the zip code/postal code table (zip codes are accurate only to a fairly large area and Postal Code may ba accurate to street (for cities) or area (for rural postal codes)
• or use Google Maps to obtain data - which is generally more accurate to the buildings actual location.

Click here for more information about System Preferences.

The database will display a message like the one below in the bottom left corner of the Patron Address Tab indicating that geocoding of addresses can not be performed because Google look up for Addresses has not been set in System Preferences. No database error message indicates Google has been enabled in System Preferences.

Google may limit the number of addresses being geocoded in a given day.

Geocoding an address makes use of data from a street geographic information system where the street network is already mapped within the geographic coordinate space. Each street segment is attributed with address ranges (e.g. house numbers from one segment to the next). Geocoding takes an address, matches it to a street and specific segment (such as a block, in towns that use the "block" convention). Geocoding then interpolates the position of the address, within the range along the segment. More can be found on the Web by searching geocoding addresses.

Distance Patron Address is from Venue

Theatre Manager uses the geocode of the patron's address to determine the patron's distances from your venue. The distance from your venue is determined by the address listed in Default Company Information in Company Preferences.

Mail List with Address Latitude and Longitude

Mail Lists will display the patron's address latitude and longitude. Adjusting the column header Preferences will allow the latitude and longitude to display in the Mail List under the Who's In Tab Column headers may need to be added to view latitude and longitude in the Who's in Tab.
