How to plot United Kingdom (UK) postcodes on Google Maps?

[garryclarke]

I have a search which returns a number of UK postcodes and for which I would like to plot on a Google maps panel on my dashboard. I have seen a lot of discussions around plotting longitude and latitude coordinates but not postcodes directly, is this possible within SPLUNK?

I have also looked at mapping the postcodes returned to a UK postcode to longitude/latitude lookup but find that a lot of postcode entries are missing.

Any help or a steer in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi garryclarke,

use this http://www.freemaptools.com/download-uk-postcode-lat-lng.htm as lookup and you should be able to plot your UK postcodes on Goggle Maps.

If you need help on lookups, read the docs about lookups.

hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
