PostCode to POI

[SimonB]

I'm hoping someone on this forum can give me some assistance in the following:

I'm trying to convert about 500 Addresses (PostCodes) to a POI File for use on multiple Tomtom GO's etc.

I've tried using http://ukpostcodes.boldlygoingnowhere.org/ by pasting 50 Postcodes at a time but as its based on a database- quite a high percentage of the postcodes aren't recognised.

Tried using Streetmap etc to convert to Long/Lat results - but can only do one at a time?
Any ideas for automating the process?

Thanks

Simon

Im trying to do exactly the same thing....map POI's by postcode or convert postcode to lat/long to map.

Any suggestions? Batch conversion is a must qwing to the amount of postcodes needing mapping/converting.

Cheers

Have you MS AutoRoute?

Hi,

The batch converter at http://ukpostcodes.boldlygoingnowhere.org/ should be up to date, if you are having trouble with the conversions please let me know. It may be a bug that I have not discovered myself.

Less that about 1% of conversions should fail, if you are seeing more than that please submit the data and highlight in the feedback box that they dont work. They wll then be investigated......

The ubiquity of full postcode lookups has made it somewhat redundant. I still have the code if anyone needs it.

Also, Neils

You mentioned converting postcodes to a map???, the http://ukpostcodes.boldlygoingnowhere.org/ site now integrates with google maps. All your waypoints are shown on a clickable / scrollable / zoomable map.

If any of these features dont work for you please let me know so I can improve the site.....

Also, the batch limit of 50 is something I impose to prevent abuse. If you contact me there is no reason why I cant do larger batches on an ad-hoc basis. (but I do have a real job too )
