Hey Russell / all,
I performed a rudimentary test of an address in the map without a postal

The address was 27 Cairo Street in St. John's, NL - I used this because it
is an old address of mine and I know the postal code
Hey all,
I was reading over the previous discussions held here regarding the issue
of obtaining postal codes for use with civic addresses in Canada. I
understand that, unless specific permission is obtained, there is no way to
