The Postcode Anywhere route planning web service can be implemented in minutes and will provide you with directions and optimised routes directly from within your applications.

Our developer documentation should give you all you need to know about using the range of search methods on offer. You will also find a range of tutorials to help you in the developer section together with lots of code samples to cater for most tastes!

Route planning services using SOAP

Postcode Anywhere SOAP services are based on the .NET framework and offer the easiest way for .NET and other SOAP developers to consume the service. Both HTTP and HTTPS protocols are supported.

Route planning services via XML

Our XML services offer a simple and flexible way to interact with the service available in 6 response formats: XML, ADO Recordset, .NET Dataset, CSV, TSV and Inline.

See an example XML request and response

Route planning dataset service for .NET

If you're using .NET but aren't comfortable with SOAP calls then you can always use our dataset service. Simply use the ReadXML method of a dataset with the relevant URL and you've got your data!

Secure route planning

Don't forget that if you have a firewall standing in the way of you and the internet then you may need to allow access to our service. Port 80 is all that's needed, but if you get stuck we're on standby.

Useful service information

We also welcome any technical questions or suggestions that you have as well as any sample code, if you feel that you can improve on what we provide. Any scripts that are adopted will be credited to the developer. Why not contact us with your ideas?
