this is really cool and helpful you did an amazing job
Be great if it actually showed the Post Code Label for the Postcode borders
Add a triangulation section. Seeing as i guess lots of people come here to triangulate a position anyway. Just give us a checkbox and which when selected modifies the input fields available and also shows on map the resolved position and any tolerances implicated.
So amazing to find a very resourceful solution as this!
Rubbish.
Are there still plans to add a bulk upload feature? Great website, is making my life so much easier
Great website. Keep doing what you are doing.
Can you give an example?
It doesn%u2019t seem to recognize some post codes
Hi Alex, this page lets you input lat,lng as the centre : Find UK Postcodes Inside a Radius.
Great tool. Suggested enhancements: allow entry of LAT,LON coordinates for the centre; Option to download list of postcodes contained within the radius.
Download map as a high res image
A Share link so you can show others.
Dan, have a look at : Download UK Postcodes.
I think it%u2019s good that we can choose how far we would like to go out to get to jobs
How do I download Postcodes? I remember this had the option to download them as a CSV file
Excellent, thank you.
A travelling time radius would be extremely useful for planning trips, searching for houses etc. Obviously much more difficult to implement.
Great Tool. Just wish it was possible to draw the radius based on co-ordinates, rather than just postcode. Would be great to also specify the radius in meters.
Patrick Please have a look at Find UK Postcodes Inside a Radius.
