About postcodes When searching using a postcode, your results depend on the type of postcode used in the country that you are searching in.
Every location on Earth, including those in the sea like islands and oil rigs, can be represented by a mapcode. Mapcodes are short, and easy to recognise, remember and communicate. They are precise to a few metres, which is good enough for every-day use. Go to mapcode.com for instructions on how to find the mapcode for a location. Mapcodes are more precise and more flexible than the address on a business card.
