[Freegis-list] Street Mapping

[Liam Castagna]

I've read your query with interest, and was wondering where could I find
out more about the Census Bureau data set? I'm sorry but I have no
information to give you regarding the software.

Regards
Liam

Hello, 

I'm new to this list and I was hoping someone could direct me to the 
solution to a problem I have or to more information.  You see, I'm 
working on a website for a real estate company right now and we 
would like the ability to include maps based on the street 
addresses of properties for sale.  Sites like Mapquest do what we 
want to do, but unfortunatly contracting with them for services is far 
too expensive for our little operation at $4500 per year.  Thus, I'm 
looking into the possibility of setting up our own map server.  

My research indicates that there is a set of data available for use 
from the Census Bureau to get the actual geographic information 
for free on an "as is" basis.  That leaves software to interpret it.  

I'm hoping someone can direct me to an open source project that is 
suited for what I'd like to do.  I'm also not adverse to looking at more

reasonably priced commercial software and data.  

Thank you,
Ben Krauskopf
