Hi Nick, Currently there are some hundred thousand postcodes in the UK OSM data. My latest POI file contains 1.76.0654 postcodes (so slightly more ;) ) for the United Kingdom taken from Chris Bells (Doogal) website which contains a full list of UK postcodes with their lat/lon, including inactive ones. I strip the inactive ones from the total list and convert them to OsMand POI format and then into an OBF
