Can anyone provide a location that has changed its latitude and longitude? A good computer program can convert latitude and longitude to the location name for any time and for any language. This type of program is used often to reveal the definition of a code for a given time and place. Example...curriculum codes for college classes. In 1940, the code for Math 101 might be 1184 but in 2003 that same code at that college might be used for Physics 201. Perhaps even the college had a name change or is now located in a different jurisdiction. As long as it remains on the same piece of real estate, it does not matter if they spoke French in 1940 and German in 1942. It's still the same place. I often ask this question..."What was the place we call Boston, Massachusetts called in 1680?" Most locations have a similar naming problem over time and between languages but they are still at the same coordinates.

However NZ Post have only been providing this service for about 150 years so earlier addresses will no mention the RD number!!!
