What is the most complete, precise and reliable way to get the coordinates (latitude / longitude) of a given ZIP / Postal Code of a given country? I need to make a lot of requests, so a high API limit rate (maybe even absent) would be useful. GeoNames dumps would be cool, but it seems to have way too many duplicate coordinates (example)...
The code below works perfectly for real devices running on 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0 as well as the emulator running on 2.1. However, executing it on the Nexus One (running 2.1) raises an IOException: java.io.IOException: Unable to parse response from server at android.location.Geocoder.getFromLocation(Geocoder.java:124) That's the code snipp...

Details provided by various sites Photos and other content I don't know how to go on about retrieving such Business and associate any items generated on my website. What I have...
Hi, we are tying to set-up GeoCortex with our ArcGis server but can't seem to get it right. We do see some of the requests that have been made to the application, but we don't have a lot of details about it, only the number of image requested, I was wondering if you guys had any problem with this (if you ever tried it) and if I could ...
Does anyone know of a good even paid API for mapping to get GEO stuff. I am really frustrated with google map giving poor results even though it beats all others. I have tried so far. Google Yahoo BING Mapquest Multimap Can anyone suggest other good services ? Hope ya CAN ! ...
I'm following the demo code from article of phpsqlgeocode.html In the db, I inserted some Chinese addresses, which is utf8 encode. I found after urlencode the Chinese address, the output of the address will be wrong.Like this one: http://maps.google.com.tw/maps/geo?output=csv&key=ABQIAAAAfG3KxFZXjEslq8VNxMBpKRR08snBovzCxLQZ9DWwpnzx...
I am looking for a free database (csv, tab delimited, xml, etc) or even a web service or API which will allow me to query for business listings within a certain distance of a latitude and longitude. A global scope would be perfect, but I would settle for Canada/US information. Does anyone know of anything like this? ...
I need a Google search URL which can give me all nearby restaurants within 1 mile in JSON format. The input is co-ordinates of my current position. ...
Hi, I'm building Flex 3 application and I have a geocoding service (http://.../GeocodeServer) on a ArcGIS server (ESRI). I'm trying to execute a query on this service in order to retrieve some informations. Unfortunately, when I execute the query, I get this error : [RPC Fault faultString="" faultCode="400" faultDetail="Invalid URL"] ...
I've used GeoKit and acts_as_geocodable in the past. I like GeoKit, but its missing nicer features like named_scopes. I'm not a huge fan of acts_as_geocodable because it duplicates address data into its own table. Lately, these gems seem under-maintained. What are some actively maintained gems out there? ...
I need to lookup the Zip Code for a list of addresses (which include the city/state). Is there a master zip code list for download (that is free) or are there any web services that will return the full postage info for an address. Ie, lookup query: 386 Bread & Cheese Hollow Rd, Northport, NY ====> 386 Bread And Cheese Hollow Rd, Northpo...
According to the Geocoder documentation, the class provides methods into a backend service which may or may not exist on the device. If the geocoder doesn't exist on the device, theoretically a geocode request will return no results. However, how can one differentiate between no results due to there being no backend geocoder service vs...
Say I want to build a check-in aggregator that counts visits across platforms, so that I can know for a given place how many people have checked in there on Foursquare, Gowalla, BrightKite, etc. Is there a good library or set of tools I can use out of the box to associate the venue entries in each service with a unique place identifier ...
Hi, My project runs on J2ME and requires me to get the user current street address. I am able to get the user coordinates using location based. But how do i go about getting the street address?? I know google map does the reverse geocoding. But how can i link that to my application?? And will there be any legal issues too?? Any guida...
hi, i'm trying to geocode values and map them to a satellite image of a city (new york city to be precise). i've successfully done this before using a geospatial image of the world, and then mapped/scaled longitude and latitude values from the max lat/lng range (-90,90 & -180,180) to the max width and hight of the image (0,width & 0,he...
Whatever service that would allow something as simple as 100 geo transcoding requests (from street address to geocode) would be ideal. I know that google maps allows 15000 daily, but it is written in Javascript. I was wondering if I could get something written in a language that at least allows for database connections. ...
I built a web application that uses Yahoo Geocoding API or Google Maps API to validate the user's address. Now I want confirm if the user need to enter an apartment (or suite) number by the exact address I have. Maybe there is an API that provides both services. Right now, my application asks the user if he is in apartment building, ho...
I'm looking for the coordinates for UK area's, locality, state/province (part of the problem finding them may be that they don't have a definite name). I know that postcode coordinates can be obtained under license, but is this the same for area's (e.g. borough's of London). Surely Royal Mail can't charge for these too? I want to creat...
Is there a publically available List or a database that has geo-coordinates to Postal/Zip Code mapping ? ...
I have to work with strings which may contain Lat/Long data, like this: $query = "-33.805789,151.002060"; $query = "-33.805789, 151.002060"; $query = "OVER HERE: -33.805789,151.002060"; For my purposes, the first 2 strings are correct, but the last one isn't. I am trying to figure out a match pattern which would match a lat and long ...
