The routing key alone can in theory help uniquify an adress, but I dont know how often that's true. >I had a play around on the eircode site tonight and it's honestly going >to >be a mess to ever make use of the data especially when it comes to >apartment buildings where you will have dozens of Eircodes inside it. Yeah, and of course all the letterboxes in those appartments will be labeled with their coresponding eircode to avoid confusion... Or one could write the name of the recipcient (madness !) and that way any of the building's eircodes can be used to reach any of the buiding's appartments :p >They did well designing it this way, ensures that it will be such a >costly >burden to maintain that it's unlikely to ever be opened up. Future >revenues guaranteed. There's still hope that the crapyness is obvious enough that eventually nobody will continue using eircode. Next time I'm sending a snailmail I'll put an openpostcode on the envelope. -- Vincent Dp _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list Talk-ie@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
