I have found a page which was grouping states based on the zip code digits. First digit can determine which state group it belongs to. Like NY has 1 as the first digit, so does NJ and PA. But of course that wont solve my problem. If I am locating something in NY, it also borders with CT, MA and VT. One more thing would be say if I am using the location near Buffalo, finding something near CT is pretty useless for me, rather I would like to find something near VT which is technically near to to Buffalo NY
I hope it makes sense.
