Hmmm.
I've typed my post code directly into GE and it found it immediately. Bad
news is that it only works on the first four digits so is only accurate to
about a mile. I tried Ronaldsway (IM9 2AS) but it only looks at IM92 and
centres on Ballasalla.
If I look at the properties for the waypoint it shows a Lat/Long value so
the conversion must be done from data on the GE server. I've also looked at
KML structure but although there is a <Features> command in which you can
enter a post code it says that this command cannot be included in a KML
file. Catch 22.
However, in my search I found this site - http://www.batchgeo.com/ - which
seems to provide just what you want.

I think the fact that the data are postcodes rather than lat/long means
that SWMBO will have to do the plot manually. That will keep her quiet
for a while ....
