I don't realy need street address, since I need to locate the exact location
of a news rack. For instance there could be couple of them against the Empire
State Building in Manhattan which takes the entire block. So I need to mark
down points on the map and link it to a table. Another thought is,
based on each News Rack ID number, get a grid which displays them, and
locate the map and zoom right into it. Lat/Long just will pin point the
exact location. Is MapInfo provides such capability.
Thanks
Doron
