First of all, I have to say datanitro is awesome. I am thinking of using it for non-commercial use. According to the website, it is free for non-commercial use. But all I can do is download the 30 day trial version. On excel, it says 30 days left. Will it stop working after 30 days?
The trial does expire after a month. You can see options for purchasing a license here.
Thanks for trying it out!

On my development machine (Dell XPS 8700), I can build my solution in 1 minute. Using VSO to build it takes much longer. Also, my build times over the past 10 days are increasing dramatically, even though I've only made minor changes to the source.
Here are the last 4 build times for the line in the log that says "Run MSBuild":
7:11
10:56
14:32
22:33
Does anybody know why this is happening?
With only 60 minutes of included build time per month, this is an issue for me.
Thanks.
We were having some issues with the build service a couple of weeks ago - when you posted the question. Is this problem still occurring?
I am trying to use my iPhone to test out my apps. When I select to use my iPhone for testing, it says "No matching code signing identity found" then a bunch of other crap in small letters.
I can then select Cancel or Fix Issue, so I do Fix Issue. I then get Join Program, Cancel, or Add... I already have my appleID added to the members area in "add" selection but it still errors out.
I have tried Join a Program then it says its $100 a month just to do this. Does it really cost money and that much or I am doing this the wrong way?
Thanks for your help guys.
You will have to join the Developer Program to be able to test your app on an actual device, but it is a yearly fee ($ 99), not monthly.
This is just the way it is.
You need to be a member of the iOS developer program to run your apps on your iOS device, and yes, the cost is $100 per year.
Is anyone using the ColdFusion API for Google Adwords? I'm having a terrible time getting it to work and know I'm probably the problem. Any advice, pointers would really help because I'm beyond stuck.
I'll owe you one!
The problem is on October 25th 2012 v201109 went to sunset and can no longer be used. Martin Orth's solution still calls v201109 and even if you change everything to v201209 (the current version) there are enough changes to the API that the CF library no longer works. I tried and tried and tried to contact Martin but no returned emails. So essentially, DON'T TRY TO USE ColdFusion API -- it will not work without the changes. If someone has more information on this, let me know but for now nothing works.
I lost track of this effort years ago but have need to geocode thousands of addresses nightly. I must use the very accurate database sitting on the machine, installed when the Nuvi map update installed Mapsource.
When I contacted Garmin years ago, they expressed an interest in providing an API for this, but then I heard nothing and did not follow up. Their database is provided by navtec? I believe. Anyone have experience with that format?
I posted on the Garmin Developer forum a while ago, but its a little lethargic over there :)
Has anyone done this?
Does anyone know how it might be done without an API; meaning database structure and calls?
I'll take a solution in any language.
Added:
Garmin has expressed an interest in making this available to me. They just have not done it.
I do not know the database format.
I am NOT looking for an online solution or any other "alternative". This question is very specific.
Talk to Navtec directly. They will sell you or license you their database directly. The database tables are clearly documented, then write your own Geocoder on top. Took me about a week 4 years ago, and I was marginally profficient in SQL at the time.
You can geocode up to 10,000/day by city with NN4D after you get their free application key.
You can geocode for $18 per 1,000 with CoreLogic (aka Proxix)
Yahoo looked most promising because it has the Hadoop feature, which is also currently being utilized at Navteq. I've contacted a guy at Navteq who uses Hadoop, and I'm awaiting his feedback. According to Ben Lorica's article on Datameer O'Reilly.com entitled "Big Data Tool for Business Analysts", Datameer can upload from spreadsheets to Hadoop. Hadoop is a pipeline to Navteq.
Starting point - a list of the tools at the GIS Dept at USC
(I can only have one link because I'm new, but I'll add the rest when I get my points up.
naveteq uses oracle format
BUT HOLD 1 SECOND:
doing 1000 lookups(per night) is easy,
doing 10000 lookups(per night) requires a good server,
doing 1000000 lookups(per night) requires a cluster
letting them do the searches requires less hardware(and more traffic) using xml-rpc or similar rpc would be the best( for everyone)
buy oracle db and start working
you can use almost anything BUT keeping in mind the volume you should use a compile language like c++
gpsbabel.org has lots of stuff on converting between lots of GPS formats, and a downloadable tool. My limited experience, mostly with google maps, streetview etc. is that geocoding is not very accurate.

The free IBM DB2 Express-C DBMS comes with Spatial Extender that can be used to GEOcode US addresses. See a webinar on this. Don't know if this is exact fit but it can't hurt to take a look.
Also take a quick look the DB2 documentation http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.spatial.topics.doc/doc/csbp3008.html
I'm looking for a webservice that will accept two arguments, ZIP code and month, and returh the heating degree days (HDD) and cooling degree days (CDD) for that ZIP code and month. I am positive that the Weather Service (www.weather.gov) has this information -- I get it manually from their website every month.
What I'm asking is whether there is a webservice that does this already?
Thanks!
After exhaustive research, I can now say, "No". Damn.
The data is available (http://cdo.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/climatenormals/climatenormals.pl?directive=prod_select&subrnum=) but no one has set up a webservice.
Data is also available from www.degreedays.net
Degree Days.net has just released a commercial API: http://www.degreedays.net/api/
You can do exactly the type of data lookup you mentioned, and there are other options too.
(I should mention that I work for the company that runs that service.)
Try to take a look at the sourcecode of ForeCastFox, a forecast plugin for Firefox.
You can find it here.
From there you'll see how they ask to a webservice ("international weather forecasts from AccuWeather.com")
