Major update, we have now moved to using OpenStreetMap.org as the data source for postbox and post office location information. Copyright info in main description.
There is a whole new interface to the app that allows you to request data updates from OpenStreetMap within 16km of the centre of the map, you can now use toggles in the top menu to allow you to filter to only see postboxes, post offices or both. There is new clustering functionality in the map interface so that you can better see the information on the map, and a new circular radius overlay that helps you see clearly the area that you are currently viewing postbox data within, since we cannot place all 400,000+ data items on the map at once.

• The app has been built from the ground up to support the newest Apple iOS version and the latest hardware.

• The app uses background refresh to automatically keep the database up to date. Please note this only sync's over wifi to provide you the best experience and not use up your mobile data.

The postoffice mobile website includes the following tools:
- Branch Finder (which gives branch opening times)
- Address / Postcode Finder
- Currency Converter

Major update. The application now has a loader progress bar when you first install the application so that it doesn't look like it's hung the first time (because it takes a while to initialise the database with the 44,000+ postbox locations).
Also you can now manage retrieving postbox location updates yourself by going to the settings screen and clicking on the "update postbox data" button. This takes you to a screen where you can download the latest data file (approximately 3.81 mb) and then choose to reload the database from the downloaded file when it's convenient.
If you have any problems with the application then please email me. Useful information would include:
- Operating system (iOS 4.1, iOS 4.2)
- Device type (iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch)
