81.9% of Myanmar's villages can now be mapped with names and coordinates: a significant improvement from the previous 80.8% coverage in v9.6.

MIMU Place Codes version 9.7 (Jan 2026) brings nearly 2,000 village-level updates from MIMU’s ongoing geo-digitization work:

• 1,176 villages’ coordinates were modified in 58 townships across 6 states/regions
• 750 villages’ coordinates were newly added in 63 townships across 7 states/regions.
• 2 new villages were added in Seikphyu Township in Magway Region.

Every update means better data for planning, response, and coordination across Myanmar. 

⬇️ Getting the data: Download the latest Place Codes from MIMU’s Place Codes page, along with detailed change history for this and previous versions (in PDF and Excel formats).

🛠️ Updated PCoder: The tool (download here) now lets you select between four versions (9.4 to 9.7) and find place names in both English and Myanmar Unicode. Use it to match Pcodes with place names, look up coordinates, or verify village names (and Pcodes). Guidelines available in English, and Myanmar, plus a video walkthrough.
