[postgis-users] Snapping linestrings with given tolerance

[Martin Feuchtwanger]

Hi, i'm a postgis beginner, too, but i think i see the problem, if not 
the exact solution:

Point 27 is the /first /point that postgis found that matched your 
search-and-snap criteria, not the /best/ (closest) point.

You need to somehow get all the candidate points (ones that match the 
criteria), sort (order by) by distance, and use the first one.
Easier said than done maybe, but that's my guess...
