Hello,
I tried using your API for retrieving polish postal codes and their coordinates and they are quite accurate, in the dataset they have label 6 (=centroid of addresses or shape). The problem is, no institution in Poland publishes centroids of postal codes.

Therefore I am wondering, how were the coordinates chosen. Was it grouping addresses with certain postal code and getting centroid of this shape? Or something else?

Hi

It is the average lat/lng from the addresses with the same postal code.
