 Priority:  medium          |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.1.0
Component:  tiger geocoder  |     Version:  trunk        
 Keywords:                  |  
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 Currently the geocoder puts in a 10 meter offset.  Meaning

 If you give it an address, it determines what side of the street the
 address should be on and offsets it off the street center line by 10
 meters.

 Unfortunately there is no way to remove the offset or change it to
 something bigger or smaller, without changing the function default on the
 internal function:


 {{{
 interpolate_from_address
 }}}

 See
 http://www.postgis.org/pipermail/postgis-users/2012-September/035265.html

 So proposastion is to add another default arg at the geocode function to
 allow this setting to be overriden.

 Setting to 0 would result in no offset.
