Hi,

Another update of the UK postcodes POI file after 9 months (it doesn't change much though).

You can find the file at the releases page in my "UK postcodes" repository: August 2020

For more info on usage and how to create it yourself: see the Readme

These postcodes are POIs. It means that you can't use the postcode address search from the address pane. The postcodes in that screen are real postcodes connected to addresses, but they are far from complete.
This postcodes POI file contains POIs with coordinates with the name of a postcode. Actually the same as searching for "Tower Bridge", "Eiffel tower" or likewise POIs, but in this case you search for postcodes like 'ct14 8eu' or 'EX34 7EX' (uppercase or lowercase, without quotes around it) in the white bar in the top of the search screen, and it will find the postcode(s).

There is a zipped version (30MB) and the obf (105MB). The zip must be manually unzipped before use (but is smaller to download). The obf can be copied directly into your Osmand folder between the other maps.
