Hello again. I've seen that there's been some earlier discussion on
this forum saying that it would take some significant reworking to get
jGeocoder to work with TIGER 2008 data.

What's the work that would need to be done there? I see from the two
TIGER specs that the range address columns have different names. Is
getting jGeocoder to work with the 2008 just a matter of changing some
names around, or are there deeper differences between the 2006 and
2008 data sets?

Thanks,
Seb

I did not spend a lot of time looking into the 2008 file format, but I am pretty sure it's incompatible with the current jgeocoder's geocoding logics, dont think it's as easy as renaming column names.
