The USPS has been de-emphasizing the usage of carrier-routes for several years now. They will eventually phase them out completely in lieu of other schemes, including enhanced line-of-travel (ELOT), etc. The pool of eligible carrier-routes decreases every month (from the mailer's perspective).

There are about 600,000 carrier routes in the USA each denoted by the 5-digit zip and the carrier route, for example 34685-R036. 600,000 is certainly more manageable than 70,000,000 zip+4's. Does anyone know where you can buy USA carrier route lat/lng data? -Kieran ________________________________________________________________ Blog: http://webobjects.webhop.org/ On Jun 28, 2005, at 11:53 AM, Brian Dunning wrote: >>> http://www.buyzips.com/platinum-expanded.htm > > This one also says it's only updated every 6 months.
