[Manifold-l] Work available - Geocoding / Google Maps / Australia

[SCISOFT]

Hello Manifolders 

I've had an inquiry that may interest some on this list. Contact me direct
and I'll pass on the email address so that you can discuss what the
requirements are, in more detail. 

This is what I received: 

I'm currently "playing" with Google Maps, and I'm after a GeoCoding service
for address resolution to the "Street Number" level. - ie, I need to be able
to do a search on an address and get it's Long/Lat.

I'd probably be resolving between 20 and 200+ addresses at a day, both in
Australia & NZ.  

I've done a fair about of research on this subject on Google, and about the
only useful info I can find is a list of 8 companies that sell this info - 

Ideally, I'm after SQL access (ie, a local GIS database on our servers), but
if that is not available, a web service would do.

Can you point me in the right direction?  Does your company sell/provide
such services, or can you recommend a company that can?

The company is Melbourne-based, and has a developer who is familiar with
.NET and SQL Server. 

I am not sure just why Google Maps would be the preferred environment. It
seems to me that it might easily be Manifold IMS. Obviously it's the
basemaps, address/location data, and the geocoding that will be the majority
of the grunt work in this project.

Use layer restrictions if in a map window (temporarily turn off

selectability). Alternatively use the smart mouse select tools, not just the

default cursor for selecting, which you are possibly doing. That will honour

the object types (eg areas, points, lines) toggled on/off. Have a re-visit

of the selections doco, there's a lot to take on board!
