Hi guys, we are using SeedCode ProMaps and it is working well. For our business, we often need to geocode records even though the exact address is unknown -- getting the centroid of the city is what some geocoders seem to do. Is there a way to do that with ProMaps?

Yes. There is a script in ProMaps that will geocode a record on demand. If you run the script "GeoCodeAddress For ProMaps" on a record with just a city and state you'll see that it creates a geo code for the "center" of the city.
Hope that helps,
John

John, thank you! With this knowledge, I updated the script Address OnSave to allow for that.
