What do you mean by 'UK postcodes'?
------------

The application currently will only provide latitude and longitude coordinates for active (i.e. currently in use and no discontinued) UK postcodes according to the ONS' Postcode Directory for November 2014 via postcodes.io: http://postcodes.io/about

Postcodes can be upper or lower case and contain no spaces or 1 space before the last 3 characters (see examples below). Other formatting is likely to return an error.

- wc1e 6bt
- wc1e6bt
- SW4 0BY
- SW40BY

Postcodes or zip codes from other countries will return a 'not a valid postcode' error.
