+ | The PostCode data is maintained centrally in IQX, no updates are required to individual client machines. The data includes UK postcodes that relate to a physical address (ie not PO Box numbers etc), and does not include non-UK PostCodes (eg Isle of Man, Jersey etc). | ||
+ | |||
+ | IQX can supply updates quarterly, but some new developments or re-coded areas may not be available immediately. Reading in the update file can take some time. | ||
