Guest jeremy Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Too bad they charge so much for the service. The funny thing is the geocoding technology is based on FREE data from the US Government. It's called the TIGER database. http://tiger.census.gov The big problem is using one table is over 15 GIGS of files. Bulk import that into a database and it basically doubles. We actually downloaded the census data and are going to use it to provide exact distance calculations from your home to a cache. Also from other locations (work, etc). It's just going to take us a while to get up to speed on oracle. J Quote Link to comment
Guest azmark Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Plus any good maping software for around $100.00 will give you all the waypoints you need. Quote Link to comment
