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?

Alex
