[postgis-users] Geocoding cross streets?

[Aren Cambre]

Hey, thanks!

I used this query:

*SELECT g.rating, ST_X(geomout) AS lon, ST_Y(geomout) AS lat, (addy).* FROM
geocode('XXXX') as g;*
*
*
where *XXXX* is replaced with strings like:

   - *erin and tralee, dallas, tx*
   - *erin & tralee, dallas, tx*
   - *sagecanyon & sagegreen, houston, tx*

Those produce lat/longs that are a few miles from the correct locations.
*
