New Postal Code Maps for Australia and New Zealand

Accurate digital maps are essential for successful sales territory and expansion planning. The newly revised maps for Australia and New Zealand are the latest update to GfK GeoMarketing’s map collection of more than 240 countries. GfK GeoMarketing is the world’s largest producer of digital maps for municipalities and postal code districts.

Right-click here to download pictures. To help protect your privacy, Outlook prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet. New Postal Code Maps for Australia and New ZealandGfK GeoMarketing has updated its digital maps of Australia and New Zealand. Each country-specific map set includes around 30 maps covering, among other things, postal code districts, municipalities, bodies of water and road networks. The digital maps are available in all standard data formats.

Digital postal code maps form the basis of sales territory and expansion planning in modern businesses. These and other such maps can be implemented into specialized software applications known as geographic information systems (GIS). Using postal codes, a wealth of company-related information can then be imported and analyzed, from customer addresses and turnover figures to sales force distribution and logistics networks. By displaying this information visually, new relationships and trends can be discerned in a company’s data.

However, as postal code systems are frequently restructured, it’s crucial that companies have access to the latest maps and cartographic information.

New Zealand is a case-in-point: A comprehensive postal code reform will go into effect on July 1, 2008, after which the previously used postal codes will no longer apply. GfK GeoMarketing has already digitized these new postal code districts, ensuring continued accuracy with regard to companies’ customer locations, sales territory planning and regional revenue forecasts.

The city points in the New Zealand map set have also been revised and expanded. For example, the new map set contains 200 city points with associated population information, providing an important basis of orientation. New with this edition are maps of the rail network, city areas, elevation levels and airports.

The Australian map set has also been significantly revised. The postal code map with more than 2,600 postal code districts has been newly digitized for enhanced accuracy. All administrative maps have been fully updated and refined, from the country’s states and territories to the approximately 1,400
