Details
The postal codes are made up of province, canton and districts (each assigned a number) and made available via an interactive form, one at a time. The map data, available at http://www.snitcr.go.cr/ does include the breakdown of provinces, cantons and districts so the data can be found and merged together but it is not easily accessible.
Geolocation is no sufficient for this dataset type.
Reviewer comments
Full postcodes with geolocation data does not exist. Changed accordingly.
