On 18th October 2017 Ghana Post introduced a digital address system, called GhanaPostGPS, intended as an alternative to the traditional address system. This system divides the country into 5m by 5m squares, each of which is given a code. Though billed as providing a unique address for every property, this system will duplicate addresses that share the same square in the grid. At the current time creation of a code requires a user to have access to mobile communications, and an app, and to position themselves at the property. People trying to find an address also need access to mobile communications, an app and the code, and the codes are not yet fully accurate due to GPS quality fluctuations. These codes have the format: AA[-]999[-]9999 or A9[-]999[-]9999 | ERROR |
