 Reporter:  arencambre      |       Owner:  robe         
     Type:  defect          |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium          |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.0
Component:  tiger geocoder  |     Version:  1.5.X        
 Keywords:                  |

 The attached image is a sample from the '''tiger_data.tx_edges''' table as
 viewed in Quantum GIS.

 You can clearly see that '''N Denton Tap Rd''' intersects '''State Hwy
 121'''. However, these queries produce no results:

 {{{
 SELECT * FROM geocode_intersection('State Hwy 121', 'N Denton Tap Rd',
 'TX', 'Coppell');
 SELECT * FROM geocode_intersection('State Hwy 121', 'N Denton Tap Rd',
 'TX');
 }}}


 This geocoder was constructed using the instructions at
 [http://www.letseehere.com/postgis-geocoder-using-tiger-2010-data] but
 only using Texas data. This intersection is in Coppell, Dallas County, TX.
