postal code data. The fastest and most reliable way to do it. You can integrate it into your queries. Can't do that with a web service/API call. We're basically using a variation of this code in our application here at Duke: http://www.opensourcecf.com/1/2007/02/Determining-Zip-Code-Proximity.cfm There's also a link on that page to a $5 zip code lat/long database that we use.
