    Street geocoding with a refining boundary. How to get MapInfo to match more street abbreviations when geocoding (editing the MapInfo abbreviation file). Use Result Codes to determine why a record did not geocode, and how to analyze the result codes of a at once. Manually pushpin records on to a map (manual geocoding). How to ungeocode records.
22. Advanced Thematic Mapping
    Create bivariate thematic maps (for example a map where the color of the symbol represents one variable and the shape of the symbol another variable). Create inflection point maps (using two sets of colors in a map at once to represent a dividing point in your data). Shade regions twice using "see through" patterns. Use thematic templates.
23. Advanced SQL Select
    Geographic querying, (using geographic operators and functions). Calculate the length of streets, calculate distances, determine which object a point is closest to, create circles and use other MapBasic functions in SQL. Use Sub-selects.
