Postcode Grid References - Product Options
There
are several Grid Reference systems available to day. The most up-to-date
and accurate systems are provided by Ordnance Survey and Royal Mail.
A grid reference that points to a specific delivery point (Address Point) is the
most accurate - 1 meter to the delivery point for any specific address.
Whilst a postcode based system (Code Point) is accurate to within 100 meters of
an address.
Off course - Ordnance Survey GB (OSGB) and Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland
(OSNI) use two different Grid Reference systems and naturally the two aren't compatible
with one another. And as you would expect, OS GB doesn't have data to
represent Northern Ireland. So the guys and girls at InfoLogic have
created a hybrid that mainly uses the very accurate Ordnance Survey GB
data but also includes Royal Mail 100 meter data to address the Northern Ireland
issue.
Should you want to purchase either of these files independently then please let
us know and we will email a licence and quote for the specific file you need.
Otherwise we recommend that you select the Hybrid option for UK coverage.
