What is Loc8 Code?
A NEW and accurate way of mapping Ireland
Loc8 Codes are the brand new GPS codes for Ireland and Northern Ireland that make finding properties and locations easy. They consist of 8 alphanumeric characters which define locations to an accuracy of +/-6 metres. The system has been developed by GPS experts in Ireland and revolutionises the way we locate homes, businesses, services and events.
Pinpoint homes, businesses and every location in between
Each code is unique which makes it easy to find business and residential properties. But Loc8 codes are not restricted to buildings. They can also be assigned to delivery points, different entrances for different purposes at commercial sites, sporting events and open air entertainment events. If needed, they can even be assigned to fields in the middle of nowhere.
Find your location with SatNav or use our website
Once a Loc8 Code is assigned to an area it can be found quickly and precisely using SatNav systems. Alternatively, you can use this website to reveal the exact location of a Loc8 Code on a map.
Acredito que seja uma ótima solução para o problema do CEP atualmente.
O problema do LOC 8 COD acima é que eles não apresentam o algoritmo para criar o endereço codificado.
A argumentação é a seguinte:
"O código Loc8 é protegido por direitos autorais e pedido de patente. A licença é usada para garantir que o código Loc8 não pode ser criado a partir de fontes não regulamentada ou não reconhecida má qualidade e, portanto, os usuários podem sempre estar confiante em sua qualidade.

Key features of a Loc8 Code!
- 7 characters using a dash to separate elements, with an 8th checker character to add reliability - Not a random collection of characters
- Always Alphanumeric
- Concatenated with nested Areas, Zones and Localities
- Certain characters are required in certain positions
- Confusion between characters and their order is removed by the purposely designed checker character
- The Code itself and Zones and Localities have inherent adjacency - i.e. one can be visually noted to be adjacent to another
- Because of the characteristics above and others - a Loc8 code can be both visually and by software positively identified as a Loc8 Code and not just a random collection of characters which could be a misspelled address, a reference number or even a telephone number.
- Loc8 Codes can only be generated from controlled and licensed sources so the accuracy is controlled and also the related quality. Only in this way could anyone start to depend on the code - codes randomly generated from multiple sources of multiple qualities may take you to the wrong place - therefore could not be relied upon.
- Loc8 Codes use OSI mapping under license to ensure the quality of generated Loc8 Codes (1m map accuracy at least) - also ensures that the whole population (not just urban areas) have equal quality mapping as a Loc8 Code source. Google does not provide this (or claim do do so)and Loc8 has taken on the cost of licensing OSI and OSNI mapping to ensure that the whole population of the Island can generate equal quality Loc8 Codes for their properties/features/events. OSI and OSNI mapping is not free to use as suggested previously. Furthermore, Coordinates or GPS receivers subsequently used to generate codes could give accuracies in the order of multiples of 10's of metres and must be carefully managed if a reliable location code is to be generated from them.
- Loc8 Codes use a rating system to indicate the quality of the Loc8 Code to users (enter W8L-82-4YK here: http://www.myloc8ion.com/maps/find_code8 )
- The protection of Loc8 Code by Copyright and a Patent application and license is used to ensure that a Loc8 Code cannot be created from unregulated or unrecognised poor quality sources and therefore users can always be confident in its quality.
- Loc8 Codes can be used on Garmin Satnavs and on TomTom, Google and Navigon navigation applications .
- Loc8 Codes have investment and an infrastructure behind them to ensure that because organisations are already relying on them, they will continue to be available and supported over the long term.
- Loc8 Codes are already being used and relied upon by: Local Authorities, Emergency Services, Commercial services and manufacturers, sports and social organisations - see some examples on the home page at www.loc8code.com
- Loc8 Codes have the support and recognition of the Logistics industry and several large related services for the public are due for release over the next few weeks.
- Loc8 Codes are providing jobs in the country and generating revenue for the country by related international licensing - all things which are badly needed in Ireland at this point.
- Loc8 Codes are owned by Loc8 Code Ltd and not GPS Ireland. GPS Ireland developed and tested Loc8 Codes as PON Codes up to beta test version but they are now owned and maintained by Loc8 Code Ltd a wholly owned Irish company based in Crosshaven (Loc8 Code: W8L-82-4YK )
- How Loc8 Code works is widely published - it is published internationally as required in order to get the Patent Priority that it enjoys globally. It is also available to all those who agree to protect the quality of how it is generated so that the public can continue to rely on its quality. A Loc8 Code License serves to protect the quality and reliability, but anyone can generate a Loc8 Code via the web delivery system or Apps for free and publish a single code anywhere for free.
- Loc8 Code is independent and developed by a specialist GPS company in reaction to the persistence of Government in 2005/6 with traditional postcodes which are not suitable for modern location based technologies.
- Over 160,000 users have visited Loc8code.com to generate their code and a Loc8 Code is already associated with around 1.8 million properties across the Republic.
