[feature request] Adding locations via postcode and/or telephone area code

Open linux-lukas opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

In the long term, I think it would be very useful if towns, municipalities, etc. could also be added via their postcode and/or telephone area code.

This seems like a good postal codes list: http://download.geonames.org/export/zip/DE.zip The data could be maintained as a resource in the app, just like the list of available places.

Format of the text file in the ZIP:

The data format is tab-delimited text in utf8 encoding, with the following fields: country code : iso country code, 2 characters postal code : varchar(20) place name : varchar(180) admin name1 : 1. order subdivision (state) varchar(100) admin code1 : 1. order subdivision (state) varchar(20) admin name2 : 2. order subdivision (county/province) varchar(100) admin code2 : 2. order subdivision (county/province) varchar(20) admin name3 : 3. order subdivision (community) varchar(100) admin code3 : 3. order subdivision (community) varchar(20) latitude : estimated latitude (wgs84) longitude : estimated longitude (wgs84) accuracy : accuracy of lat/lng from 1=estimated, 4=geonameid, 6=centroid of addresses or shape
