A requirement of my application is to be able to do geocoding (street address
to lon/lat) and reverse geocoding (lon/lat to nearby street address) without an
internet connection, mainly for the United States.
I am trying to find the best source of data for this. I can use the 2010 TIGER
files, specifically files tl_2010_53033_edges.shp and tl_2010_53033_edges.dbf.
But I wonder if there is a more compact or more up-to-date data source easily
available. (It's not a huge deal for me to compact the TIGER files, and it's
not an absolute requirement that they be compacted, but still, with King
County, WA (53033) taking close to 100 MB, it would be nice to get that
smaller.) If the OSM data is a good source for this, can you point me to an
example of extracting just the street address data?
