Powercode does not have a real coverage map. They do generate the
deployment .csv file, based upon the assumption of reporting any block in
which you have a customer as being deployed. That approach will definitely
generate incomplete results, but I'm seeing a way way worse problem.
Powercode was giving us 22 blocks reported on the deployment CSV, when I
did it by hand in GIS software, I have 841 blocks. Something seems to be
very broken. I just finished the analysis right now, I will be emailing
them shortly.

If you guys are blindly dumping your Powercode deployment CSV into 477, you
really should check the data yourself somehow. I have talked to one other
powercode user who was seeing this problem. He actually had a mapping
background and helped me do the analysis in MapInfo.
