Hello, I recently started using postal codes data from geonames, and my accuracy went down for most of the countries, on further investigation I found that the postal code's latlong are way off for most of the cases (Specially for Asian countries),
For example for an Indian state Gujarat, I plotted all the latlong points from the postal_code data and it looks something like this http://i.imgur.com/OrkUyKY.png
And in reality Gujrat is something like this: https://www.google.co.in/maps/place/Gujarat/
These are way off, even for a particular postal code, you can see the latlong points are quite far.

Is it a data quality issue or am I missing something really obvious here?
