[postgis-users] geocoder

[Ethan Alpert]

Tiger may not be the best data but Schuyler's text parsing is really
good and I wouldn't want to have to reinvent that wheel.

Subject: [postgis-users] geocoder


I know of geocoder.us.  As of now, geocoder.us only works for tiger data
(not exactly the worlds greatest roads data).  I have already built
another dataset specific geocoder using a combination of postgresql
queries and php text processing.  What I would like to create is a set
of functions so that you could just use a query on an address string
within postgis on any dataset.  Somehow, there would have to be a way to
set up correct indices and determine which fields are what part of the
address -- ideally this geocoder should even work with addressed parcel
data.
