Geopoint XT provides the geographic position for over 1.7 million Postcodes (e.g. HG1 5AW) in the UK to an accuracy up to 1 metre. The co-ordinates and positional quality of the postcodes are sourced from the Ordnance Survey's Code-Point™. Further enhancements have been applied to the product Geoplan to make the Geopoint XT product (which is extra information form the standard Geopoint XT product.
With each co-ordinated point, GeoPoint XT includes:
Information about the number and type of postal delivery points in the postcode; a status flag which indicates the positional quality of the point; the National Health Service area code, Royal Mail Postown, County and Local Government Ward codes.
GeoPoint XT provides a nationally consistent Postcode reference, and is a standard link between databases and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The dataset forms a comprehensive base of geographically located data, which can be used for a wide range of applications. For example, this dataset is the ideal product for analysing customer distribution, proximity analysis, locating retail outlets, accurate map navigation, and the display and analysis of spatial classification systems at Full Postcode level.
