PostView postcode boundaries

PostView plots postcodes. Whilst that's not an easy sentence to say, using PostView data is just that: easy!
PostView provides postcode boundaries for the UK, broken down into sectors, districts and areas. By installing PostView in a geographic information system (GIS) such as Prospex you can configure postcode boundary data alongside other geographical datasets to create postcode boundary catchments.
What can I use PostView for?
Create and display your own catchment areas made up of postcodes sectors, districts or areas using PostView within any GIS.
Show store catchments, media areas or drive time catchments for example newspaper circulation areas, radio TSAs or local authority boundaries.
