Hi All,

I am looking for pincode to geo-cordinates mapping for india. I am
aware that the pincode.datameet data is lacking many pincodes and also
seems to have errors (for example, the latitudes for some specific
first-three digits of pincodes is spreading up to 8 degrees).

Some of my questions...

-as the main basis of data is geonames, and that itself has many
errors for india, was there some algorithm which you applied to
identify and/or correct those errors. If there is an algorithm for
that, are you planning to open source that?

-did you also make use of osm data. i was curious if the CC license
under which pincode.datameet provides its data is compliant with osm
terms.

-if not osm, did you use any other source apart from geonames. i could
see some entries made by community over web.

-are you people still actively looking for some alternative resources
or algorithms? do you have any suggestions on the current state of
india pincode-geo mapping?

thanks for your answers...
