Hi,

We have a large database of UK post codes and I'd like to get the approx. lat, lon of each one. Can I do this with the GeoNames data? I can't find the UK Post Codes in any of the data sets.

I have searched this forum to no avail

Many thanks,

monk.e.boy

The first letters of the postal codes are available in the postal code dumps. The entire UK postal code is not available as it is copyright protected by Royal Mail.
