[OSGeo-Discuss] Anyone interested in geocoding and routing?

[Fischer, Brian]

Here is a 7 County Metro area using the PAGC geocoder in Minnesota.
Currently supports address and intersection geocoding.  It has been set
up as a web service open to the public.

http://www.metrogis.org/data/apps/geocoder/index.shtml 

Here is an example web gis application making use of the web geocoder
service.

I just thought this might be of interest to demonstrate the use of the
PAGC project.

Hi all,

It should, its goals are exactly those of OpenGeocoder. PAGC was started
in 2001, and while it has moved slowly, it has gone through major
improvements over the last few months, and it now includes a web
geocoding service.

The projects SourceForge page is http://sourceforge.net/projects/pagc/,
and its (unfortunately very out of date) web site is
http://www.pagcgeo.org.
