You can get data for the US for free. With a combination of Tiger and FIPS data you can get Latitude and Longitude coordinates for street addresses. There was an entry related to this in last year's Google contest. Finding that entry will provide you with instructions for getting the data (unless the government has decided it is too dangerous because of possible terrorism since last summer). The project has some software for doing street address to to Latitude and Longitude conversion. You will need to decide what point in a city you will want to use. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
