[Mapserver-users] Geocoding ?

[Shannon Scott]

I have used this open source geocoder, and found it to need some help.
My associate and I fixed several bugs, and added a sound index for
misspellers.  
Now it works better than the ESRI ArcIMS geocoder with the same data.
If you want to test it, try out
www.neighborhoodscout.com/testGeocoder2.jsp
We have only used it for this client, but I know my associate made a
remote java interface that works with dbf files.  We have invested a
great deal of time and resources into improving the code, so I don't
think we could give away our improvements to the source code.  However,
I will speak with my associate about it, and I am willing to describe
the problems we found and help with advice any where I can.
Feel free to contact me off-list for more info.
I hope this content is not offensive to any list member.
Take Care
Shannon

A couple years ago, the winner of the Google programming competition was
for a geocoder that works from TIGER line data.  It is released under
the GPL.

See:  http://dan.egnor.name/google.html

I've never used/tested/played with it, so I don't know how well it
works.  It may not be "simple".
