Use Postal code for Google Map search

0 Comments/ in News / by Jimmy Liew

Google’s been working hard in their effort to improve the features of the Google Map services in Singapore. First, we seen signs of Google Street View coming here soon.

Now recently, they added Postal code search and reverse Geo-coding while in Google Map as posted by SinGeo.

With Postal Code search, you can key in the 6-digit postal code while searching. That said, the database seems to be incomplete as it failed to return a result when I searched for Apple Singapore (postal code 569086) or the Istana. But when a result is shown, Google been able to get within a block or two of the location – example Funan IT Mall

This also works on the Map app on your iPhone & iPod Touch.
