Rendering service

The mapping service is also available though a dedicated rendering service which offers a more convenient interface for HTML and JavaScript developers. Based on the XML service, the rendering service can be used in the SRC attribute for HTML IMG tags.

Access to the service is available through http://services.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/map.aspx. It can then be used thus:

<img src="http://services.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/map.aspx?account_code=aaaaa11111&license_code=aa11-aa11-aa11-aa11&action=map&postcode=wr26nj&width=300&height=300&scale=3">
