Hi,

I've seen mention that geocoding in the UK isn't accurate because the
Royal Mail owns the data and licenses it, however it seems to me that
there is inconsistency in geocoding results given by the HTTP geocoder
based on whether the postcode is specified with or without a space.
E.g. "CA6 5TR" and "CA65TR". There also appears to be inconsistency
between the result location shown in maps.google.co.uk and the
geocoder's specified location.

I'd like some guidance on what can be done about these
inconsistencies.
Should all postcodes be presented to the geocoder with a space or not?
Shouldn't geocoder results match the maps.google.co.uk location?
If an inaccurate result is identified should it be reported, and if so
how?

I've created a webpage to demonstrate some of these problems:

Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Mark
