Hey Russell / all, I performed a rudimentary test of an address in the map without a postal code and later used the Nominatim to search for it to see what it produced. 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 there without reference to Canada Post or the like. The result from Nominatim is A1B 3X9. The actual postal address is A1C 4X2 - a significant difference. I don't believe that the postal data in Geocoder is particularly accurate.
