[Gvsig_english] Geocodification in gvSIG

[Eloi Ribeiro]

The Portuguese system its very similar as it is in Spain except for the zip code where we use 7 digit numbers, as follow: 4100-446

As a sample, in Portugal our addressing system is the following one:

1) - Street type (e.g. Rua -street-, Avenida -avenue-, ...).
   - Street name (e.g. Sarah Afonso).
   - Number (e.g. 41,  ...).
   - Postal Code (7 digits, e.g. 4200-446)      
   - Town / village.
   - Example: Rua Sarah Afonso, 41 4200-446 Porto.

2) - Road name (e.g. estrada -road- Nacional 1, Autoestrada -highway-, ...) / Road code.
   - Milestone (e.g. km. 3,5).
   - Examples:
         * Estrada Nacional 1, Km 3,5.
         * A3, Km. 7.

More info in Portuguese, readable by any Spanish or at least it should :)
