The goal of this project is to understand location-based strings in every language, everywhere.

This library helps convert the free-form addresses that humans use into clean normalized forms suitable for machine comparison and full-text indexing. ...

...It comes as a portable C++ application with no dependency on any other program (except the GNU/ Linux platform libraries). It aims at being easy to install, easy to run and easy to use.

It does not aim at being a full-fledged flight-management and analysis tool - simply because such tools are available online all over the net (e.g. Leonardo). Additional import formats may be added in the future.
