The one you see attached to this post is just the basic one. In September 2006 Royal Mail changed the CB2 and CB3 postcodes: The CB2 4XX, CB2 5XX, CB2 5XX are now CB22 XXX. The CB3 6XX, CB3 7XX, CB3 8XX are now CB23 XXX. So just add these in the csv: CB22,Cambridge,52.163,0.133 CB23,Cambridge,52.213,0.025 Hey John

Any suggestions as to where I can find them? That is really usefull info, but I am stuck on a project where I need co-ordinates for CB22 and CB23.

I copied / pasted your function from your source and put it in project to test (previously just visually compared). It works! I still don`t know where my code is different :( well done. sorry for the premature judgement! disregard my previous comment.

If you check UK Postcodes on Wikipedia I believe there are some community efforts of doing the same.</p> No you can’t own copyright of coordinates, you can copyright and licence a database with them in but we are creating a separate one using a new technique of locating them.
