[Samuel Shulman]

Hi

I need to measure the distance using 2 postcodes (UK)

How can that be done?

Thank you,
Samuel

1. Get latitude & longitude corresponding to the postcodes:
http://www.jibble.org/ukpostcodes/

2. http://jsp.vs19.net/lr/sphere-distance.php

3. In return for me having just spent some 30 seconds on google, let us know
the error in distance between treating the Earth as a sphere and treating it
as flat for postcode areas at opposite ends of the UK :-)

Sorry can't answer your question,

The link you gave me doesn't work (try downloading the file) I also think
that there is no nearly enough post codes

However, this link seems good:
