Canadian Postal Codes

Business Central/NAV Developers Forum

I’m looking for a complete set of Canadian Postal Codes for use in Navision. Any suggestions? Thanks

Did you think about contacting Post Canada directly? http://www.canadapost.ca/segment-e.asp

Normally the localised Product CD should contain the postal codes…Did you try the CRONUS Database in the Canada Version of Navision ?

I don’t think that the localised Product CD’s ever contain any data like that. In general, the Cronus Database contains only sample data. For sure, there is no Postal Code information in the Canadian Version.

I would be surprised, because in Quebec (I don’t know for the rest of Canada), in all major cities, there is a different Postal Code for each street. And if a new street appears… I’m sure that those lists exist, because some big restaurants like Mikes and St-Hubert [:p] ask for Post Code first when you call for a delivery. With the information on Post Code. It automatically fills their fields for City and Street.

Please email me at schinsky@bostonretail.com and I’ll send you a CSV file with all the Canadian Postal Codes as of 8/2003. I update it yearly from the Canada Post CD.

Hi Steve, I think you will find that it is quite illegal to give away copyrighted material, basically the same as software piracy. the reason it is not included in Navision, is that hen they would be breaching copy right. ps this is not a development question.
