Maybe a guide and example of what to submit?  I've not read the
instructions yet so I am completely in the dark.

OK WISPs, you now have tools to do the geocoding yourself and I can get 
your Form477 formatted files or Cameron has/will have a tool you can do 
it all yourself.
What is the next excuse for not submitting your Form477 by March 1.  
Let's show the FCC WISPs are a large part of the solution.
By the way, all I had was latitude/longitude and speed data Friday 
morning.  By late afternoon not only had I submitted the form, but had 
the tool to use for anyone that needs help.  Don't give "It's too hard" 
as the reason.

Re: [WISPA] [WISPA Members] Possible way to create a free tool for 477 reporting data at the tract level

2010-02-20 Thread Mac Dearman
All I can say is guys like you (Cameron) that donate their time and effort
and have the ability to do this - -well - - are just fine folks. I wish I
had a little Geek in me, but I am full blooded redneck :-)   I can't even
code a combination lock, but if you ever get this way I can surely make you
a gumbo or jambalaya that is fittin for a King or grill you some Redfish
that you'll never forget.

[WISPA] Another on line geocoder and tract mapper (not free but reasonable prices).

2010-02-20 Thread Brian Webster
I found another on line geocoding service (http://www.geocode.com/) that
seems to have reasonable rates and is run by TeleAtlas. TeleAtlas is one of
the premiere geocoding data sources in the US. This is the data set most of
the on line mapping systems use to resolve address information to a set of
coordinates. As I have mentioned in other emails, the accuracy and quality
of the results will be greatly affected by the standardizations of your
street address information as compared to the official USPS recognized
address database (and RR address information is very hard to deal with, if
you can add zip+4 it will work better). With their desktop software tool
they will return the census tract and block information as part of the
results. The tool will attempt to standardize the address information.

TeleAtlas publishes a very nice document that shows the output formats and
describes the address geocoding methods and the specific details on
standardization of street address data. Well worth a read for those
interested in cleaning up their customer address databases for more
successful mailings and/or mapping of their customer locations.
