Hi fellow PostGIS'ers...
First I'd like to extend my thanks for producing an excellent system
that even a GIS newbie such as myself was able to set up a PostGIS
system quickly. I've currently set up a PostGIS table with Tiger/Line
data (right now a few counties in Maryland) and set up some queries to
perform primitive geocoding using the data. PostgreSQL performs
admirably, returning fuzzy-string based geocode results in well under
100ms for most searches.
My question is, are there any commercial data sources for street-level
geocoding products for the US available that are reasonably priced and
have easy import options into PostGIS? I've done some cursory searches
and I haven't found any real information on this subject.
Thanks
