Is it possible to supply a starting postal code and then get the distance from that starting point to say all postal codes within a given province?

Is there plans for Meeting COG for Canadian postal codes?
By Steve on 23rd July 2021

Can we use an Excel list with like 10000 postal codes (Canada) and calculate the distance with different ones?

Simon, sorry we don't have such a tool

Hi there. Great tool. Is there a downloadable version that can compare multiple postcodes at once? (in Excel, for example). Thank you!

Hi Rod, please get in contact directly to discuss.

Works great. As a programmer I would be interested in utilizing this feature for custom applications, both stand-alone and webbased or be able to incorporate inside a phone app accordingly. Is there a website that I can contact someone for further review? Thanks in advance

I like dis.

I am pleased with my results. I compared from one point to another, by address to address (which gives amount of time)and postal code to postal code. Results very close. I needed a tow truck to take me to 4 locations, with short time waits between, car on board and not unloaded until last stop. For me this was a way to calculate the towing charge at a given rate per KM. I am age 72 and actually worked this out by myself !!! Feel good.

1. Canadian postal codes may be shown without a space (according to the Canadian post office). Both should be acceptable. 2. If a space is expected, why is the field 8 characters long? 3. If the user enters data in the "wrong" format, why not provide an error message, instead of an erroneous result? 4. In the attached file, I have entered "M4N 1K8" and "M2N 3A8" (both with spaces). The location on the map for "M4N 1K8" is incorrect. Hence the distances are not correct. I presume that "A" represents "Postal Code 1", and "B" represents "Postal Code 2", but there is no legend that states that. I tried this with Firefox and Chrome. Same result. https://app.box.com/s/l3t60drkzz2mkzsw0b66gsf4d8vpr6ik .

Hi Doug, please ensure there is a space between the 3 3 so M4N1K8 should be input as M4N 1K8. In terms of access from an external source to allow batch processing .... please get in contact directly to discuss this.

I am getting some results now. However, in some cases they are wrong. These 2 screen shots demonstrate. In one case, the numeric values 0 and 8.9 are inconsistent. (can't be zero; 8.9 is possible). In both cases, M4N1K8 is not correctly depicted on the map. Question: is there a way your map function to calculate the distance between two postal codes can be called within an Excel spreadsheet? https://app.box.com/s/eqiwj8n76s1bp3phzacqz71bx8qsleyf https://app.box.com/s/r7umwadk02e42yejuvfibjqbc3hfy33c

Hi Doug, thanks for getting in contact. Yes, there was an issue that should now be resolved.
By Free Map Tools on 31st December 2016

I type in "M4M 2R1" (no quotes) and "M2R 1M2". Nothing happens. I've tried upper case and lower case (both should work), with and without the space (both ways should work). I've tried it on Firefox, Chrome, IE and Maxthon. nadda.
