CONVERTING AN EIRCODE TO A LOC8 CODE USING point8
You can use the both STANDARD & PLUS versions of the app to convert an Eircode to a much more useful Loc8 Code. Install point8 first. Then go to Eircode Finder via the phone's internet service - enter a known Eircode - Click the Directions Button (at the bottom of the user interface) - select your installed latest version point8 app and the equivalent Loc8 Code will be displayed. You have now traded-in an Eircode for a much more useful Loc8 Code. NB:- as Eircodes often point to the wrong location/building or do not indicate the correct road access point, you should use the point8 MapTap feature to adjust to the correct location before sharing or Navigating to it.
