I need volunteers to test the address search function that I am trying to implement.

The address search is based on open-source geocoder by Dan Egnor: http://ofb.net/~egnor/google.html

It uses the Tiger Line data from US Sensus Bureau:
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/...tgr2006fe.html

(Yep, as you already guessed, this feature is US only :-( )

Attached, is the geomap index for New York state.
You'll need to unzip the files (zip.txt and all.map) and drop them in to any NY map directory.
Following map can be used for testing:

If you run linux, using Dan's instructions, you can compile index for any other state or combination of them.
I'll try to generate more indexes shortly...

Anyway,
Press [R-TRIGGER] + [X] to activate the address lookup form, while in map mode.

Only the address line should be sufficient for a successfull geo-lookup, but the more information you enter the faster the search would be.
The search could take from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the query details.
The fastest is the "addr line + zipcode" combo.

Basic testing would involve loading some business listings for an area (restaurants, hotels, etc) and then verifying the geo position of that business via the geo lookup, by entering the address...
I tried to punch in about 20 NY restaurant addresses and they all worked... This, of course, needs a broader testing....

Sure does...
I ran it up until a few days ago...


Deniska..
Is there any way we can try to make our own data, that way we might be able to test it better?
I have no clue about NY. Never been there..
I think we could test it better if we were more familiar with the streets...
But I suppose we could just use the NY map to get street names..
Also I was able to find a video with the Sony Map software.
Pretty neat some of the functions it has. But I am used to the functions you made, i like your better, IE the Zoom....
But I just thought that you might want top take a look at it yourself to see if you wnat to add stuff..
Just a thought...
I'll find the link for you again...

[deniska]

which state do you live in?

[moursika]

thanks

Some more geo-index files.. (PA, NJ, MI)
You'll need to unzip the file for your state, rename it to "all.map" and copy it to your map's folder.
You'll also need zip.txt file... I attached one to new york index file a few posts before
