[Mapserver-users] Street name

[Paul Ramsey]

It's an application function. Mapserver has no native geocoding 
abilities, I doubt it ever will. Geocoding is mostly an attributive 
calculation (what street does this string match?) and only a spatial 
operation for the last step (how far along this street segment should I 
go before placing the point).
