What do I do if there is no address on the screen that matches the address I am standing in front of? 

For each actual physical building the pocket pc will only recognize one address. Therefore, if you are standing in front of a single building that has several addresses (like a commercial strip) only one of the addresses will actually appear on the screen. 

1.)  Select that given address. 

2.)  Collect all of the appropriate information about the building.   If it is a building with multiple stores, the system will allow you to click on all of the business types that apply for all of the addressed in the building.  

What do I do if I get an error message when attempting to save changes?

Error messages can be corrected quite quickly.  If you are getting an error message please contact Lee Deuben or Greg Sanders (at CMAP) 312-454-0400 as soon as possible.  If you are unable to reach either person please write down the entire error message and the address you are attempting to save changes and email or voicemail Greg and Lee at CMAP. 

Entering Information:

Select the appropriate address when the address list appears.

You should see something like this:

Data fields at the top of the page are output-only (they cannot be changed). Data fields below can be changed to a new value.

You can change the data values by selecting a value from the dropdown list and then clicking the ‘Save changes’ button.  CLICK ‘SAVE CHANGES’ ONE TIME ONLY and wait for the next screen to appear.

When you change the Land Use, you will be prompted to select a Detailed Land Use. For example, if you change the Land Use to Commercial, you will then be prompted to select from among the Business type sub-categories (grocery store, restaurant, etc.)
