The UN/LOCODE database contains some inherent data quality challenges, particularly regarding geographical coordinates. The database has incomplete coordinate coverage, with significant gaps even for major global cities. There are also instances of coordinate inaccuracies and inconsistencies in coordinate formatting across different entries. This tool presents the data as provided by the UN/LOCODE database without modifications. For a dataset that addresses these coordinate accuracy issues, you can check out the improved-un-locodes project.
While the official UN website provides comprehensive access to the UN/LOCODE data, this tool is designed to offer a streamlined, user-friendly search interface. It simplifies the process of finding specific UN/LOCODEs by providing instant search results and an intuitive user experience.
