Hi - two slightly different things in your question there - the convention is, as far as I understand it, to use source=local_knowledge if you happen to know it from being there yourself or a local tells you, and source=survey if you see it on signage. As far as I know, there's some disagreement about whether and how "disembodied" postcodes should be added, but I do often add postcodes e.g. on specific shops or addresses where I've got it first-hand (e.g. from the shop window) Best Dan > On Fri, 9 Nov 2018 at 09:38, Tom Hughes <t...@compton.nu> wrote: >> >> On 09/11/2018 09:09, Phoenix830 wrote: >> >> > I want to add postcodes but I am aware of issues with this being >> > copyrighted material. >> >> Add them to what exactly? >> >> > I have come across https://postcodes.io which states it is from open >> > sources.
