Hi,

I got a couple of missing postal codes for Netherlands:

9241 Wijnjewoude
9684 Finsterwolde
9686 Beerta
9951 Winsum

Greets,

Henry

Sometime after May 20th and July 1st, there was a regression to a bunch of postal codes where the downloaded postal codes contain incorrect values.

I'm thoroughly confused by what's going on because the web interface still shows the correct data.

Here is one example:

From http://www.geonames.org/postalcode-search.html?q=3441&country=NL
Woerden 3441 Netherlands Provincie Utrecht Gemeente Woerden 52.085/4.883

From postal code export on May 20th:
'NL', '3441', 'Woerden', 'Provincie Utrecht', '09', 'Gemeente Woerden', '0632', '', 52.0850000, 4.8833000, 4

From postal code export on July 1st:
'NL', '3441', '-', 'Provincie Zuid-Holland', '11', '', '', '', '', 52.0850000, 4.8833000, 1

The stated accuracy value in the old data is actually higher than the accuracy value in the new data, which makes it even more puzzling.

Thanks Jimmy.
following the posting of Henry we had updated the postal codes for the Netherlands. There was an issue with parsing an input file and 4 places were parsed as '-'. It has been fixed. The new data was not yet deployed on the search interface service.

Best
