If you had a source of addresses+postcode (a list of businesses or streets etc.), you could use geonames.org to give a geolocation based off the address alone. That geolocation could be appended to the postcode. This would give approximate data only, but a modification to npemap could allow manual adjustments of postcode locations. > Assuming that the old map has the road marked on it, of course, this > doesn't work so well for new roads. Could the openstreetmap data be overlaid onto npemap?
