For those of you interested in UK Geocoding, I just saw this post come across the wire.  If you aren’t doing anything of high-volume or with high-availability needs, maybe this is a temporary answer for you.

I’ve received quite a few inquiries on this topic, so apparently there is quite a lot of interest in us doing some of this.  I’m happy to take a shot at this if I can solicit some help from my readership.  I basically need you folks to do some legwork for me.

It would be helpful if I could get the consensus view of the geocoding services that you folks are interested in.  It would also help to know if they have sandbox capabilities so that I don’t have to pay a tremendous amount to work through the development process.  And lastly, I might ask for some suggestions on the GeoLoc data elements front.  Obviously, its quite US-centric, at the moment.

I do reserve the right to use your suggestions selectively based upon time, expense, and convenience, but I think you already knew that.  So let me know your thoughts!

I use emad’s service and have done for a while. It’s accurate and he always responds to emails with questions.

There are two well know geocoding services in the Netherlands webservices.nl and geoserver.nl.

I don’t know if people want support for these services in Geokit, for me the Google Geocoding services gets the job done.

Both have some kind of sandbox support, the first one offers a free development account and the other one has a free subscription with a limit of 100 ‘credits’ per year.

Unfortunately both sites are Dutch only, although the webservices.nl manual is in English.

If you want to include support for these and you need some help with the language, feel free to contact me.

Both services support European addresses including the UK (IIRC).
