GeoCoder Question

[Will Mitchell]

Hello all,

 

Does anyone have any comment on various contemporary web service geocoder options for use in standing up a web mapping app requiring light geocoding (e.g. take me to an address)?  It is for U.S. only.

 

Specifically wondering how Geocoder.us stacks up.  I know it is Tiger based, and according to the web site it is Tiger1998!  So it must be hugely lacking in completeness and geometric fidelity.

 

Other options under consideration include Google and MapInfo EOLS.

 

Thanks in advance.
