Is there any Geocoding tool which is open source and can be used in commercial application?
We tried Google geocoding API's but cannot continue with it because of some licensing limitation.
Now we are exploring GisGraphy but haven't finalized it.
Is any other better alternative available?
Currently we want to GeoCode US data only but in future we may extend it to other countries.
Answer
the best suitable option is not geonames OR openstreetmap but both, Geonames is good for city data, and Openstreetmap for streets, if you use both you will get a good dataset for geocoding. that's the goal of gisgraphy, use the two datasets to get the best relevance.
