Re: [talk-au] Postcodes in South Australia
Good point Andrew. Here's the link in case others were interested https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/suburb-boundaries. It's CC BY 4.0 licensed and we do have the waiver completed so are free to use (just need to ensure we add the attribution to the wiki). While it's a good approximation, it's not exact postcode boundaries, but good enough is better than nothing.

Re: [talk-au] Postcodes in South Australia
The SA suburbs dataset has post codes in it. However it would appear that this was not included in the early import: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/zir On 04/06/18 17:03, Alex Sims wrote: Hi, I’m getting increasingly frustrated with how my GPS (OpenStreetMap on Garmin via mkgmap) and the OpenStreetMap Nominatim handle postcodes in South Australia with a lot of defaulting to 5000 (Adelaide CBD) I am assuming that a given suburb or locality maps to a single postcode (excluding institution’s which I don’t think we care about) but that a postcode my map to more than one suburb or locality Given that I can see two ways of doing this (manual editing): 1.

[talk-au] Postcodes in South Australia
Hi, I’m getting increasingly frustrated with how my GPS (OpenStreetMap on Garmin via mkgmap) and the OpenStreetMap Nominatim handle postcodes in South Australia with a lot of defaulting to 5000 (Adelaide CBD) I am assuming that a given suburb or locality maps to a single postcode (excluding institution’s which I don’t think we care about) but that a postcode my map to more than one suburb or locality Given that I can see two ways of doing this (manual editing): 1. Find a sign, say outside a post office in a suburb/locality and use that value for that suburb/locality 2. Use the ABS definitions as a guide Any comments as to things I’ve not thought of with regards to licensing/accuracy?
