Plot Multiple Australian Postcodes on a Map
Paste a list into the box, one postcode, city, or place name per line, and every line gets plotted - or gets a specific, honest reason it couldn't be. A postcode is plotted by its centre point; a line with no postcode is looked up as an Australian place name instead, so a city, a landmark, or even a bare state or territory name still shows up on the map rather than silently disappearing. Exact landmark matches get a green pin; everything else - postcode centres, cities, states and territories - gets an amber dot, so you can see at a glance which points are precise and which are approximate, both on the map and in the results list. A line with more than one number that looks like a postcode is flagged rather than guessed at. Click a marker to highlight its row, click a row to centre the map on it, and export everything as CSV, KML, or GPX when you're done. Useful for delivery rounds, sales territories, service-area checks, and anywhere you need to see a mixed batch of locations on one screen.
Free Australian Postcode Mapping Tool
This free Australian mapping tool lets you paste a list, one postcode, city, or place name per line, and instantly see every line plotted on an interactive map. Whether you have 5 postcodes from an email or 300 from a delivery spreadsheet, every line gets its own result - a real point on the map, or a specific reason it couldn't be placed. There is no sign-up, no daily limit, and no card required.
An exact landmark match gets a green pin; a postcode, city, or state gets an amber dot, so you can tell precise from approximate at a glance, on the map and in the results list alike. Click any marker to highlight its row; click a row to centre the map on it. Remove individual rows and the map updates in real time.
Plot Postcodes, Cities, and Places on One Map
Paste your list straight from the source you already have it in - a spreadsheet column, an email body, a customer report - with one item per line. A 4-digit postcode is plotted by its centre point. A line with no postcode is looked up as an Australian place name instead, so cities, landmarks, and even bare state or territory names still get plotted rather than dropped.
- Postcode - plotted by its own centre point
- City or landmark - looked up by name and plotted at its real location
- Bare state or territory name - plotted at its own centre, not refused
- Two numbers on one line - reported as its own outcome rather than guessed at; put each on its own line
Every line produces its own row in the results list, so the total shown can never be smaller than what you pasted without telling you why.

Export Your Mapped Postcodes
Once your list is plotted you can take the data with you in three formats:
- CSV - postcode, state, latitude, longitude columns for Excel, Google Sheets, or any data pipeline
- KML - opens directly in Google Earth and Google My Maps as named placemarks
- GPX - works with most sat-nav units, Garmin devices, and GPS tracking software
The share-link button copies a URL that contains your postcode list, so you can paste it into a message and the recipient sees exactly the same map when they open it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I plot multiple Australian postcodes on a map?
Paste your list into the input box with one postcode, city, or place name per line - copied from a spreadsheet, email, or any text. Every line gets its own row: a postcode is plotted by its centre point, and a line with no postcode is looked up by place name instead, so a city, landmark, or even a bare state or territory name still gets plotted rather than dropped. There is no sign-up and no per-day limit.
What happens to a line that isn't a postcode?
It's looked up as an Australian place name instead - a city, a landmark, or a state or territory - and plotted at that place's own location. If more than one real place matches what you typed, you're asked to pick which one. If nothing matches at all, that row says so plainly rather than being silently left off the map.
What if a line has more than one number that looks like a postcode?
That row is reported as its own outcome rather than guessed at - the tool won't assume which number you meant. Put each postcode on its own line and re-plot.
How many lines can I map at once?
You can map up to 500 lines in a single batch. Larger lists are trimmed before plotting so the map stays responsive, and you're told how many lines were left out.
Can I export the mapped results?
Yes. Once your list is plotted you can export the successfully-placed rows as CSV (input, label, precision, latitude, longitude), KML for Google Earth or My Maps, or GPX for sat-nav and GPS devices.
Is the postcode mapping tool free?
Yes - it is free, with no sign-up and no card required. Postcode lookups run entirely in your browser against local data. A line with no postcode is looked up by place name against our own data, the only thing sent out, and nothing is stored by MapTools.
Why didn't some of my postcodes plot?
Our postcode database covers 2,640 standard delivery-area postcodes built from Australia's official address data - PO-box-only and specialist codes aren't included. A postcode that isn't in that list is now tried as a place name before being reported as not placed, rather than failing outright.
