Hi, In order to increase the accuracy of my Postzon postcode georeferencing file I am going to follow the method suggested by Gatrell et al (1991). i.e. adding 50 metres to each set of postcode coordinates MapInfo uses decimal degrees, and I'm not sure how to do this! Could anyone advise? One method would be to convert my decimal degrees to degrees, minuets and seconds. However I was wondering what the solution would be in decimal degrees. Thanks in advance Paul. ref: Gatrell, A. C., Dunn, C. E., Boyle, P. J.
