Basically, no one has ever done a good job with such addresses. The best hope for us is for these communities to adopt city-style addressing, usually for 911E purposes. I served on the committee that did this for a small New Hampshir town back in 1994.
Geowankers: take note of URISA's Addressing conference in Providence, RI (a nice city, BTW) early August this year: http://www.urisa.org/conferences/Addressing/Info It's put on in conjunction with NENA, the National Emergency Numbers Association. This is exactly the kind of issue that's covered. ********* Don Cooke ******************* -----Original Message----- From: Sean Grimland [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 4:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Geowanking] Geocoding Problem Hi all, I'm trying to geocode some address from upstate NY using http://geocoder.us. I've run into a problem with addresses which have 'Rural Delivery' (R D) in the street line. These address return a message that the address can not be parsed. Can anyone suggest a solution or is the geocoder not built to handle rural US addresses? Some example addresses are: R D 1 Smithville Center Road R D 1 Box 25 Ny Route 12 R D 3 Ny S Route 12 R.D. #2, Box 256A Box 209 Route 12 Thanks in advance, Sean G. _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org
