Lat and Long for postcodes?

[#1]

Hi,

Is there any third party tool to get the Latitude and Longitude for postcodes. Please can anyone suggest me.

Thanks,

[jpapador]

You can get zip codes with latitude and longitude from the United States postal service website.  You can download it in CSV or Excel format

Thanks. Can I have the URL please? I have to get latitudes and longitudes for UK postcodes.

It depends if you need the following postcode or just the first part (outcode).

The full UK postcode to lat long data is available commercially, but there are sites where you can get the outcode to late long mappings which are royalty free.

Try googling "uk postcode data" to see the options what's available.

Thanks. I have postcodes. I need latitude and longitude. Is it possible? I googled and found GPSVisualizer. will that work? please suggest me.

You can find sites that have a csv or database file you can download listing outcodes and lat.long.

Try searching. "office for national statics postcode"

You could run the zips through Google's Geocoding service for free.  This can be used within a QlikView script, but you are limited to 2500 requests per day.

Thanks. Could I know what limited to 2500 requests per day means? just confused a little bit. Please help!

Amelia,

you could use GeoDesix (http://www.calvert.ch/geodesix/), an excel plugin which uses the Google Maps API. Using this, you can enter Excel formulae which will retrieve your lats and longs.

Amelia, there are a number of other apps out there that will allow you to geocode and/or correct an address via a web service - but these are are commercial options , that all come with associated prices.

Are you looking for a free list? or something you can use commercially?
