I just made a utility to create a list of waypoints in a GPX file using street addresses. It uses gpsbabel behind the scenes to create the GPX file.. http://www.rahji.com/waypointer Thanks, rob |

It uses gpsbabel behind the scenes to create the GPX file.. http://www.rahji.com/waypointer Have you looked at the Yahoo Geocoding API? I think it is a little more accurate than geocoder.us. http://developer.yahoo.net/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html Adam |

I just looked at it. Pretty cool, especially since it can return the results as serialized php. It's a little annoying that you can't force it to return results only for a given street address - it always wants to be extra helpful and give you the coords of the city or street if it can't find the address. Extra work to weed through those results in this case, but I'm definitely going to play around with this API.
