[Mapserver-users] free map server/mapping hundreds of addresses on a webpage

[David Bitner]

It sounds like you have a list of addresses to geocode after which it will
be a static layer?

If this is the case, one thing you could do is geocode all the addresses,
either by hand or by writing scripts to interact with one of the geocoders
mentioned before, to add an x and a y field to your table with the
addresses.  You could then either convert that to a shapefile, or use the
display points from a table method that has been discussed on this list
before.

You could then query these points the same as any other geographic layer.

Hello

Thanks for your reply.  Is there a way to get all of these geocoded
addresses onto a big US map (and regional, state maps) which could have
clickable points?

Thanks
