What does the first letter of a digital address mean?

The region: G is Greater Accra, A Ashanti, C Central, E Eastern, V Volta, W Western, N Northern, U Upper East, X Upper West, and so on. The first two or three characters together are the district.

Can this find the location of an address?

No. It reads the code. Turning an address into a location on a map needs GhanaPostGPS's own service.

How it works

A GhanaPostGPS digital address has three parts: a district code, an area number and a four-digit number for a 5 metre square. In GA-183-8164, G is Greater Accra, GA is the Accra district, and 183-8164 is the square.
