No need to screen-scrape; the GMaps API provides for geocoding in both directions. Secondly, White Pages also provides an API for US telco land-line numbers. See http://developer.whitepages.com/ NZ ?? AS On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 6:35 PM, Mike Toews wrote: > FYI, the terms you are looking for i

In NZ as i guess in most places we have a national system of rural property addressing (RAPID) where the street number is based on how many meters down the road the property gate is. These are stored in Land Informations property on line database. My question is there any official or unofficia

Bobb, hiya. Now, "... grab the tiles ..." from where? I have a PHP script that given corner coords and zoom range, will build a directory set of tiles DL'd from OSM. (And the Open layers script that will call it.) Dunno if this is close? AS On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 2:28 PM, Bob Basques wrote:

Dear all, I am investigating in using netcdf as data format that could integrate the time dimension into GIS. The NASA tool Panoply (http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/panoply/) does this quite nicely. I have seen that there was an initiative from uDig in GSoC 2009: Getting time into the GIS for visua
