2 New Geocoding
APIs: "
Two mapping/geocoding APIs have been
recently added to the database:
-
Ontok:
Provides a mechanism for geocoding the latitude and longitude of
any US address. The data is based on the US
Census 2004 Second Edition TIGER/Line® Files. Here’s an example
of the
White House. The service is accessible via REST, SOAP and
JavaScript APIs. See also the nice mashup UI with Google Maps
where you can click on the lower left Input Addresses to
navigate.
-
ZeeMaps: If you
need to geocode addresses outside of the US, ZeeMaps can help.
Given an international city, state (optional), and country
combination, the service will return a set of latitude, longitudes
(along with corrected city, state, country information). They offer
REST, XML-RPC and SOAP interfaces.
