Does anyone know of any Open Source geocoding software? I have an
application where purchasing MapMarker is not a practical option
(really good, but too expensive) so I thought I'd explore the
alternatives. I suppose one would also need a good source of updated
street address data too. A lot of streets have built since 2000.

One thought was to write an mbx to read in TIGER files and then use
MapInfo's Find feature. I've heard that the TIGER 2000 data is
pretty decent, but is it? 

Another thought is simply buying the points on an as-needed basis.

Any recommendations?
