[mapguide-users] Doubts/Problems with find address and plot DWF

[Andy Morsell]

I answered number 1 for you a few days ago.    Basically the sample will not
help you and you will have to write something on your own.  If you REALLY
want to modify the sample application, you only need to modify the code so
the line in findaddress.php that reads:

$address = $_GET['address'] . ', Sheboygan, WI';

Is changed so you pass the city and state as a variable instead.

Here is what I wrote in my original response:  “the sample application uses
the geocoder.us web service to find the latitude and longitude of a street
address.  This is only for the United States.   See http://geocoder.us/ for
more information.   In order to do the same for data in Spain like you
desire, you would have to find a similar service with Spanish data or build
your own.

Something like this might be interesting to you:
http://www.nacgeo.com/geocode.asp.  Or, look into using the Google or Yahoo
geocoders.  http://www.developer.com/lang/jscript/article.php/3615681”

Hi,

Can anyone help me?

1- How do I edit the php script "find address" so that the city and the
state are not as they are hardcoded in the Sheboygan sample, because my
question is "Find Address" uses "rpc.geocoder.us" in Sheboygan. Does it
exist a general web address to find any data? this is, can I use the
function "find address" to find a name (not a number and a name as is done
in Sheboygan to find a address), but only a name that represents a natural
space in Castilla y León (a Spain´s region)?

2- I have installed the program Autodesk design review, version 9.0.0.96.
With this program works for me the plot of DWF Sheboygan, but not with my
data type shp, sbx, sbn, dbf, idx and shx (or with the transformation to
sdf). (The message is: "Your current version of Design Review does not
support files of this type") Do I need to install another program? What is
the problem?

Thanks
