Hi!

It's missing at least 363 postcodes in your post code geodata for Sweden.
Why is that and how accurate is the postcode files??
A few postcodes also have the wrong Admin1 name (for example Post Code "136 49" has Name "Haninge" in your geonames data file, but the real correct name is "Vega".

This is a list of missing Postcodes I have found:

When will you fix this error in the postcode file?

Also a minor problem is that you have coordinates on the "bigger" admin area like Admin3 which is like "City" and not on the Admin1 Name wich is postcodename ans a smaller district. Thus a lot of postcodes have the same lat/lon for the City but in reality they have different Coordonates depending on postcode zone Vega or Haninge and not only on Stockholm lat/lon For example Postcode "136 49" above has coordinates: 59,1915508903216 and 18,1348506374917.

As long as these 3 problems is not fixed, this is unfortunately useless to us
