I'm with moltonel here I personally will not be supporting eircode nor will I partake in any initiative to add it to OSM. I do not accept the proposed design as being anywhere near suited to a catering for a national coding system when there are already much superior solutions designed and working this past few years. eircode is merely a random identifier for rows of address data in a database
I will be more than happy to see and support the addition of both superior location codes Openpostcode or Loc8. I have emailed Loc8 to see what their stance might be re. adding to OSM data C On 14 November 2014 19:09, moltonel 3x Combo <[email protected]> wrote: > > Perhaps what needs to be done is foment a boycot of eircode, or at > least of the 7-char version which is, with all due respect, mad (or > devious, your call).
