Ok, first iteration of something with this is up at http://milliams.dev.openstreetmap.org/postcodefinder/landregistry/ It's extremely basic and isn't providing much more than you can get with a bit of grep magic. You enter a postcode and it does a substring match to get all the matching entries. I have added all 349,849 (up to and including the July data) entries. The next step will be to take start matching up that list with the address provided through http://milliams.dev.openstreetmap.org/postcodefinder/ and show a map of matches. -- Matt Williams http://milliams.com _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
