Map Magic not installed properly

adminMap Magic > Errors / crashes

Intersection Magic communicates with ArcView using Map Magic. If Map Magic is not properly installed, ArcView will complain that it can't find the required scripts (im_a_displaycrashes, im_a_displayints, im_a_displayspots, im_a_geocode)



 How to create and use GIS aliases

In many cases, your GIS map street names will not match the names in your crash record database. If the difference is significant, (i.e. ArcView can't see them as being similar names) then that location will not be geocodable. This is common when a state highway runs through a city. The city may use a local street name when entering crash data, and the map may use the highway name.
