Hi all, I want to be able to obtain the long and lat of any given post code for several countries across the world.
I did find one website http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/ but when I started to do some testing, I found that there were errors within only a few tests that I had carried out. I searched on here for others but the messages were quite old and didn't find much searching. I don't want each and every street but just the general long,lat for each postcode so I can store it in my database. I'm trying to achieve the type of functionality that lets you enter your postcode, select xMiles and then retrieves the surrounding postcodes. Does anyone know of a good website where I can download such data that is accurate? Or, am I better off using an API like google for example, and just start grabbing only 15,000 a day. Am I even allowed to do that using google's API? I ask because I don't intend on using a google map - well, not at this stage. Something planned further down the line. I'm a student so can't afford to pay for a service :( Cheers, J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
