Postcode and Geo Location Database...

Post by icarpenter »

Hi I am trying to source free UK postcode and UK Postecode/geo location (longitude, Latitude) databases...

I have found a reasonable database for postcodes @ http://www.brainstorm.co.uk/uk_post_code_search.htm

And some geo location info @
http://www.jibble.org/ukpostcodes/

But the brainstorm data base has arround 27000 entries and the Jibble data has only 2800...

Does anyone no of a good source of the following data..

[county][town][postcode][longitude][latitude]...

Thanks Ian.

This is fine if you want district level codes as there are approximately 2900 of these.

Yeah I guess district level is OK...it seems to work OK for what I need it for, it could always be better though!

Thanks for posting!!!
