Abstract: MetroGIS open source geocoder software  DO NOT USE DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE IF YOU JUST WANT TO USE THE GEOCODING SERVICE. A GEOCODING SERVICE BASED ON THIS SOFTWARE IS HOSTED BY LMIC. However, you can get and use a copy of the software for your own purposes. It is open source. The software was intended for use with MetroGIS regional datasets, but could be used with any dataset(s). Intention is to use the MetroGIS Regional Parcel dataset then cascade to TLG roads.

Status: Completed
