I think we can simplify this with one slider that covers the entire range of post codes: 00000 - 99999
Slider? No, it's a button that you have to hold down to scroll. And it moves ridiculously slow, like some streaming services.
Oh, and you require DRM enabled to go above 1079 and a Smart TV with all privacy options at
defaultto go above 2159.With no detents.
What about our Canadian brothers and their codes?? F4S6D4 😂
Easy, 36-base slider with 6 place holders. All potential post codes between 000000 and ZZZZZZ.
You could add a scroll wheel on the screen that you drag to scroll, and let the user set the gear ratio via a similar mechanism.
Ah, I’m thinking US ZIP Code
Postcodes are letter letter number number space number number letter letter
