- pyre 17y agoIf those are the columns this isn't 'precise' postal code data. The log/lat is just the 'centroid' of the postal code. At least in the US, most -- if not all -- postal codes are irregularly shaped, so it's not like you can pull up precise GPS data on the perimeter of the postal code (i.e. in order to draw it on a map).
