CAP / ZIP code limits

[dario-pln]

Hi there,
thanks for this awesome project.
Is there any chance that CAP (postal ZIP codes) geo-limits can be added to the project?

Thank you

Hi @guglielmo , I am developing a script that creates a csv file with city names, istat codes and zip codes, which could be eventually merged with the json files of the project in order to comply with this issue.

There is a problem, tough: greater cities have multiple zip codes (e.g. Naples has zip codes with "801xx" format, from 80121 to 80147). And often these "subcity" zip codes do not match with geographical subcity boundaries already present in json. If there are no better solutions, these cases could be treated with an uniformed zip code (e.g. Naples with 80100).

waiting for your feedback.

Hi! Zip codes are propietary (owned and strictly guarded by Poste Italiane).
Not being out in the pubic domain, I cannot publish them here, it would be illegal.

I see most of the italian zip codes are on wikipedia. Is that a violation, too? I am asking only out of curiosity
