[GRASS-user] Gecoding Canadian Street Addresses.

[Sampson, David]

Ahhhhh, the GFOSS community comes through....

I like what I see so far... Both windows and linux... And GPL'ed (what
ever the lesser refers to, but assume it is in the same spirit)

I notice you had some involvement... Thanks again for your
contributions...

I will have to try it out and check out what the schema stuff is all
about...

Thanks

Dave,

Have you looked at the PAGC geocoder?

   http://www.pagcgeo.org/

They are trying to work out details to ensure they have a good postal
code database to back this up.  You might want to drop a line to Dan
Putler about it.

Best regards,
