UK and USA has lots of postcode records in the DB already...

I have now imported Australia and Germany's records...

Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Netherlands have no such database file in the Location module... We're going to need to track these down, or build our own...

Note that Belgium, Switzerland, India and Norway have files and could be imported if needs be.

So, in approximate order of need, we have to find zipcodes.xx.mysql files for...

Canada
France

Spain

messy.

  • France is all over the shop
  • Ditto Italy.

HOWEVER: It appears that recent patches to the Location module have enabled proper geocoding of addresses/postcodes without the need for these data files.

SO: I need to do a diff on the new Dev version of the module compared to what we have to see if the new patches will do the trick without us losing the extras I've added over the last 18 months.

More soon

All pushed live, Location and GMap should now be better at finding people's locations...
