Explorer Geocoder Goes Open-Source
CNet reports that the Explorer geocoding technology developed by California firm SRC has just been made open-source. [Press release.] SRC describes Explorer as “the industry’s first open sourced geocoder that is data and country independent, enabling developers to integrate digital address databases in any country to support geocoding processes.” There’s a lot of open-source action in the mapping community, so I’m not sure if this is big news or small beer, but it sounds a useful tool. SRC also has a cool-looking Google Maps-demographics mashup that can actually take any appropriate data set and map up a report from it. Neat.
