Hi Niel

Is the TomTom postcode dataset free and public? If so, great - please send a link! If not, the public needs access to an accurate, open, free data set of postcode boundaries since their official custodian is a public entity.

In an ideal world SAPO would provide this and we should push them to do so.

But in the meantime the best practical means to such a dataset it to crowdsource it on a platform like OSM. Anyone aware of any such initiatives or want to take the lead?

Hi,

TomTom Africa has as far as I know the most accurate and complete Spatial Data for South Africa Postal Codes. Being at TomTom and knowing how much time and effort had gone into it the last years and comments from the customers I would suggest using the dataset from TomTom.

Regards

Niel

Hi



 Does anyone know where I can find shape files for SA POSTAL CODES?

 STREET CODES would be useful too.



 Thanks
