Hello!
I am searching for a solution that allows me to do (reverse) geocoding queries on a local server (i.e. surpassing Google Maps).
The queries are intended to be done against data coming from shapefiles/MapInfo. If I understand correctly, PostGIS can do
geocoding queries. Since GeoServer can use PostGIS (again, if I understand correctly) I was hoping for a REST api for this task.
I discovered a mentioning of precisely this at OpenGeo blog (http://blog.opengeo.org/tag/geoserver/, see NYC Open Mapping Sprint).
Has there been any progress in this direction? Is this the right forum for this question? Any pointers or insight would
be gratefully accepted!
Thanks in advance!
