Pre-Release: Landmasses Dataset for optimized logistics
The new Landmasses dataset provides a global layer of terrestrial connectivity for service area design.
Each town is assigned a landmass_id. Travel by land is possible between two towns only if they share the same landmass ID. Otherwise, a water or air crossing is required.
Pre-release access is open exclusively to GeoPostcodes customers.
Introducing level 3 administrative divisions in South Korea
We're adding level 3 districts for 11 mid-sized cities, improving consistency across city names and level 2 administrative divisions. This update takes effect by the end of the week—please account for it when refreshing your data.
Kazakhstan introduced a new 7-character postal code system in 2016, but the previous 6-digit codes are still widely used for mail and deliveries. To support this, we are releasing an additional dataset with the old postcodes. You can find it next to your standard KZ files, under the name "6-DIGITS".
Monthly changes
In September, we updated59,517 rows in our postal database.
