    Its up to the SatNav people to incorporate it into their software, I'd imagine that's doable.

    Mr McDonnell also said he believes the Eircode will lead to discrimination. He said that real estate websites will price properties according to their postcode.

    That said it is a bit ridiculous that the amounts of searches are limited and that they didnt have a deal with Garmin or google or whoever to facilitate directions.

    Satnavs need a system which is based on coordinates i.e. latitude and longitude. The new eircode system is not. Hence it can't be used. The loc8 system can. And they paid €27m for it. I feel another computerized voting coming on.

    It's doable. Works in the UK, (and the North).

    The uk is a system developed in the 50's and is a coordinate system which is sequential. Eircodes are neither. You can't even transfer it to google maps to find where you're going. You're stuck with the lousy map on their site. A dreadful waste of money that will only be used to identify houses for services.
