[postgis-users] TIGER geocoder

[Paragon Corporation]

Andre,
 
If you plan to do geocoding, then you need to load tiger data.  Next steps
here:

loading_data  
 
Hope that helps,

Hi users,

I am a bit lost on the necessary steps in order to use the TIGER geocoding
tool. This is what I have done so far:


# Enable geocoding capabilities


CREATE EXTENSION fuzzystrmatch; 

CREATE EXTENSION postgis_tiger_geocoder;




# Test Geocoding capabilities


SELECT na.address, na.streetname,na.streettypeabbrev, na.zip

FROM normalize_address('1 Devonshire Place, Boston, MA 02109') AS na;



(Returns, as expected: 1;"Devonshire";"Pl";"02109")


But now I don't know exactly what I have to do. I have read the
documentation, but still I am not very secure of what I should do. Does
anyone here with experience with the TIGER geocoder can give me a hint? 

(PostgresSQL 9.3, PostGIS 2.1, Win7 Enterprise 64bits)

Thank you,

Andre
