What is the GIS file?
Answer The GIS file we supply as part of the ERD data delivery contains Geographical information formed from analysis of the Caller Line Identity and is used to provide a key to the data in the individual ERD files. Data such as Postcode does not usually map directly onto an exchange area, but what is provided is a best-fit picture. The Local Exchange area name is the most specific area available down to the TV area, which is the least specific.
