Hi
I posted a couple of months ago about the geocoder. Time
ran away and I have at last got my (tiny) app together.
The original version involved php, sed, sort, uniq and a
web service. It was all starting to look a bit insane so I
have learnt a little perl and changed the geocoder to work
as a perl import (I would say module but it is a bit too
lashed together for that).
The reason behind all this is that I am a GP with about
9000 patients. We are thinking of a new surgery building
(well they are going to bulldoze the current one!) and it
was useful to know where our patients live when locating a
new building.
The postcodes are grouped by sector and a kml file
generated.
This is very basic at the moment. It is optimised for
working in a smallish area. It would be nice to have drill
down (group at the SN , SN1 , SN1 0 levels) and mash up
extra data (e.g. census information). However it may be
useful to other small business.
Spit and polish (e.g. a stylesheet! - custom icons showing
% in the kml etc etc) to follow. Probably slowly.

would be possible.
