Canadian Postal Codes:

Q: How many Canadian Postal Codes are there?

A: Currently there are over 825,000 postal codes. More are added with just about every new version. The Canadian Postal Code is equivalent to the U.S. 9-digit code (normally, one postal code may cover one side of a residential street. A neighbor across the street will usually have a different code).

Q: I want Canadian latitude and longitude. How accurate are they?

A: The Canadian geocodes are very accurate in the big cities. In rural areas, we try to get one lat./long. for each town. We have over 634,000 total unique Latitude/Longitude coordinates for Canada.

Q: Can I use your data in a store locator?

A: Yes. Many customers are using this data in a store locator. You just need to purchase the base product and the latitude / longitude add-on.
