Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Batch geocoding

It is pretty slick, but I just started using it about an hour ago, so I haven't thought much about what to do with it. I did see a comment where someone from Google said that reverse geocoding is not possible yet. I am going to have to get up to speed with PostGIS, but this is a pretty simple oper

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Batch geocoding

Glad to be of help, I'm just curious about what the licensing / terms of use on the KML files that come out of fusion tables. Plus I want to know if it will reverse geocode. It is very slick, but I can imagine violating the terms of use almost instantly. In terms of your next problem (which se

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Batch geocoding

That is a nice trick, I will remember that. I really just need the coordinates, since each coordinate needs to go back into a database in a register of a location-time that needs more data added later. These are the "generic" addresses, with the apartment numbers stripped, so each address will prov

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Batch geocoding

JP, If you export the KML, and then feed it into QGIS you can then save the resulting layer as a shapefile, which is probably what you are really hoping to have since you can then easily feed it to R, PostGIS, or a number of other tools to pull the coordinates. Dan On 02/04/2011 02:20 PM, J

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Batch geocoding

Hi Bernie, You can't actually get the lat-lng back out of a Fusion table. It will geocode all the addresses, but you can't get the numbers back, you can just make a map or layer or something. http://groups.google.com/group/fusion-tables-users-group/browse_thread/thread/91c43c73107164eb Unless I

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Batch geocoding

Thanks Bernie, That looks very interesting. I might give that a try. Right now I am having decent luck with geopy and the Google and Yahoo APIs. Google is more restrictive, but it doesn't choke on addresses as much. I cleaned up the data and I have about 54k different locations (after removing apa

Hi Wladimir, That is sort of what I thought. Too bad. I was just in Barcelona yesterday, at the CSIC, to get data. Where do you work? I am on the geoinquiets list too, but I am afraid I am on so many lists and in so many projects that I don't keep close track of them all. I should hop over and in

Hi JP Barcelona is unfortunately not well covered yet in OA. But I thought that Spain has a very "open" strategy in terms of providing geodata. If you manage to get Barcelona addresses (perhaps from council or any other "official body") the OA team will insert these into OA and then you can use

When we created the GeoCoder plugin for Geomajas we faced that same problem. The google geocoder has a few drawbacks that makes it unsuitable. In the end we used the Yahoo service together with the Geonames service, with pretty good results. Hope that helps. On 02/04/2011 02:34 PM, JP Gluttin
