How are your programming skills? The classic way of doing this is using an approximate string match (or "fuzzy match") using the Levenshtein or Damerau-Levenshtein methods. There are modules to do this for many scripting languages (like Text::Fuzzy in Perl). There is also the command line tool 'agrep' which does the same thing. I'd recommend you manually check the results. I know it's slow, but there's no way to get this perfectly right automatically. cheers, Stewart _______________________________________________ Geocoding mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/geocoding
