Northern Ireland Pointer

Northern Ireland Pointer data is sourced from OSNI (Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland).

When enabled, it enriches Northern Ireland addresses with rooftop accurate geolocations and the UPRN (where available).

Before​

Without Northern Ireland Pointer, NI addresses use less precise geolocation data and lack a UPRN.

With Northern Ireland Pointer enabled, the same address is enriched with rooftop accurate coordinates and a UPRN.
