Re: dealer locator
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have one which I wrote but it only does USA ZipCodes and the user has to type in all 5 digits. The code is very easy to write and the hard part is getting a Current Database that has all of new ZipCodes plus the Lat/Log Data in it.

Re: dealer locator
zipcodeworld.com has US, Canada and Mexico. But there is no such thing as a worldwide sort of standard for postal codes. Just look at the worldwide extended area surcharge tables from UPS (you can get comma-delimited versions if you look around some) . You'll see numeric, alphanumeric and pure alpha strings, along with many countries with no codes at all. When I wrote my US-only dealer locator I used zipcodeworld data ($30 I think) and picked apart another guy's tag and rewrote it. A lot of the commercial stuff out there does zip code search with horrible inefficiency. You're looking at 30 seconds to execute sometimes. What I came up with eventually wound up to be 10-100 times faster than the commercial stuff I bought. I put out this tag for free as ZipMonger (properly crediting the original author) and I have since heard from one guy who took the zipcodeworld data, which has lat/lon, and made it work with the tag. So it can be done. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: dealer locator
oops. I meant to say that the guy I heard from made the tag work with CANADIAN data.

Re: Dealer locator
You might want to check into integrating with mapquest or the like... iirc mapquest (if not yahoo or msn maps) have tools (web services?) to integrating their maps into your site, so all you have to do is send them the address(es) you want identified on the map. hth ike -- Original Message -- From: Hagan, Ryan Mr (Contractor ACI) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Aug 29, 2003 10:54 AM Subject: Re: Dealer locator Greetings, I'm working on a dealer locator for a manufacturing company. The company has about 5 dealers in each state. I'd like to make this as dynamic as possible, so that the company can simply use an online interface to enter in the zip code of each dealer and have a nice little dot appear on a US Map on their website. This prevents me from having to manually insert (or remove) a dot each time a dealer comes, leaves or moves (which actually happens very often).
