Hi @all,

i haven´t found any postal codes in the database dump. Is that correct. I would like to have them e.g. for Germany. Is there any possibility to get them?

Hi

We have separated the postal codes from the geographical names as for many names (mountains, lakes, etc) its impossible and it does not make sense to use a postal code.
It is easier for us and for our users to separate general names from postal code names. Postal codes are therefore in a separate dump file, which is currently not available for general download as we don't want to feed search engine spammers. (The ones creating thousand of pages with place names and having google ads as only content.)
We believe for 'serious' applications the use of a webservice makes more sense. Drop an email to info@geonames.org if you need the postal code dump file. (And if you are not a spammer

)

Hello,

i send you an email about the possibility to have this db about belgium if possible.

Thx a lot to you.

Hi,

I would also like to recieve a dump with postalcodes for Sweden. I would also to know if it is possible to receive for streetname level?

Please send to info (at) minakuponger (dot) se (remove @, dots and spaces..)

Also, is there a simple formula for the radius calculation you are using that is easily portable to c# for example?

Anyway, great service, keep it up!

ps. data will be used for a free coupon site where coupons will be grouped together by surrounding postalnumbers...

There is a java class to calculate distances in the cvs, it should be easily portable to c# :
