I've seen this problem many times.

Using our map at:

http://maps.huge.info/zip.htm

or

http://www.usnaviguide.com

Entering zip 30115 in the zip code inquiry field brings up the correct
zip code but entering it in the address search bar, which is powered
by the Google geocoder, brings up Eastman, GA, which is about 100
miles to the south-south-east.

Not a lot you can do if you're using the API's geocoder, they just
have a lot of incorrect zip code data. There are even valid zip codes
that take you to Venus, Italy rather than the US, so go figure. Just
remember, a geocoder is more art than science, so a few misplaced
points doesn't mean it's all bad.
