#1392 closed defect (fixed)

Can't geocode an intersection that should work

Reported by: arencambre Owned by: robe
Priority: medium Milestone: PostGIS 2.0.0
Component: tiger geocoder Version: master
Keywords: Cc: aren@…

Description

The attached image is a sample from the tiger_data.tx_edges table as viewed in Quantum GIS.

You can clearly see that N Denton Tap Rd intersects State Hwy 121. However, these queries produce no results:

SELECT * FROM geocode_intersection('State Hwy 121', 'N Denton Tap Rd', 'TX', 'Coppell');
SELECT * FROM geocode_intersection('State Hwy 121', 'N Denton Tap Rd', 'TX');

This geocoder was constructed using the instructions at http://www.letseehere.com/postgis-geocoder-using-tiger-2010-data but only using Texas data. This intersection is in Coppell, Dallas County, TX.

should be fixed at r8713. It was my assumption that everything should have an addr record and the addr record should have a zip which is often not the case for highways.

I just downloaded and installed r8715, and I still get no results.

I used these steps, in case it matters. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop 32-bit.

  1. wget http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-2.0.0SVN.tar.gz
  2. tar -xvzf postgis-2.0.0SVN.tar.gz
  3. cd postgis-2.0.0SVN/
  4. ./configure —with-pgconfig=/usr/bin/pg_config
  5. make
  6. sudo make install
  7. sudo ldconfig

Then I did su postgres and ran: /usr/bin/psql -d geocoder -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/contrib/postgis-2.0/postgis_upgrade_20_minor.sql

Then for good measure I did sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart

Still getting no results for the above queries.

Crap, sorry for the mess in the prior comment. For some reason, this Trac doesn't let me edit my own comments (!), so I can't clean it up. I meant to have an ordered list in the middle.

It's not part of the upgarde minor 2.0 script because its not always installed and also a lot of people on 1.5 are using it. Things in the extras folder are never installed as part of the core PostGIS.

Sorry I should clarify that better in the docs (probably in the install sectin where a lot of people are looking). You want to run the extras/tiger_geocoder/tiger_2010/upgrade_geocoder.sh or upgrade_geocoder.bat file

comment:7 by robe, 12 years ago

For this you can get by by running the — upgrade_geocode.sql from psql.

Oops, that was it. Thanks! And I didn't realize you could use this tiger_2010 with PostGIS 1.5!
