Hello, I am trying to write a script that does a zip code look up at the USPS. URL="http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown_zip.jsp". The data gets submitted by POST is: zip5=YOURZIPCODE&submit.x=3&submit.y=22&submit=Find+ZIP+Code The part I am having a hard time finding is how these numbers get generated: submit.x=3 submit.y=22 The above...
Hi All Hope someone can advice but looking for an API service that can provide traveling times between 2 zip codes. These would be driving time. Cant seem to find a service for such a thing. Can anyone help provide links to any good services they have found? ...
I have a database table of zipcodes with their Lat/Longs. I'm trying to find some code that shows a query that takes a zipcode and x miles and then return set of results that include all the zipcodes that are within that radius (precision is not very important - as long as it's close). Can this be done with a Linq to SQL query so I don...
EDIT 2: After writing up an incredibly long explanation in more detail I, of course, discovered my problem and it had nothing to do with the question I asked. It was caused because I was creating a custom object of mine, assigning an uploaded images name to it's "LogoName" property...then creating a new version later in code, not assigni...
Hi, Do you have any experience with obtaining the City from a Canadian zip code? Is there a free web service to obtain city name by passing a Canadian zip code or can a regular expression be useful? Any ideas? Thanks! ...
I'm trying to handle proximity search for a basic store locater in Django. Rather than haul PostGIS around with my app just so I can use GeoDjango's distance filter, I'd like to use the Spherical Law of Cosines distance formula in a model query. I'd like all of the calculations to be done in the database in one query, for efficiency. A...
What is the most complete, precise and reliable way to get the coordinates (latitude / longitude) of a given ZIP / Postal Code of a given country? I need to make a lot of requests, so a high API limit rate (maybe even absent) would be useful. GeoNames dumps would be cool, but it seems to have way too many duplicate coordinates (example)...
Hope someone can advise, I would like to be able to use google map API to find all Zip codes/cities with x Miles of a point. Has anyone done such a thing with google map or maybe some other type of service. Would love to know if so how you have achieved it ! Thank you if you can advise. ...
The longest city name I was able to find (that had a Zip code) was "La Canada Flintridge" which is in CA. I found that haphazardly via google. For testing our mailing addresses, I'd like to get a definite "this is the longest city name you could possibly mail to" out of a USPS database. How would I go about finding this information a) ...
I need to lookup the Zip Code for a list of addresses (which include the city/state). Is there a master zip code list for download (that is free) or are there any web services that will return the full postage info for an address. Ie, lookup query: 386 Bread & Cheese Hollow Rd, Northport, NY ====> 386 Bread And Cheese Hollow Rd, Northpo...
Is it possible to know the city name based on IP address in java? ...
I'm having some trouble getting a search by zip code proximity query working. I've search and searched google but everything I find is either way too slow or I can't get working. Here's the issue: I have a database with a table with all the US Zip Codes (~70,500 of them), and I have a table of several thousand stores (~10,000+), which...
I'm aware there are databases for zip codes, but how would I grab the city/state fields based on that? Do these databases contain the city/states or do I have to do some sort of lookup to a webservice? ...
I have a Microsoft SQL Server database with a table of Locations. Each location has its address and latitude and longitude coordinates. In my application, the user can input a zipcode and we return a list of close by locations. This is my approach. a) Using a zipcode DB I search the lat,lon for the zipcode (this is the center point). b)...
When users register with our app, we are able to infer their zip code when we validate them against a national database. What would be the best way to determine a good potential guess of their time zone from this zip code? We are trying to minimize the amount of data we explicitly have to ask them for. They will be able to manually se...
Hello, I have put together some code to calculate distances between two zip codes. When I enter the zip codes through the api I get a different distance than I do with the actual google maps site. Anyone have an idea on why this is occurring? A few ideas I have are: I am not centering to the zip code -> I was looking around to see how...
I have a coordinate. I want to find the top "n" (n being a variable value) nearest coordinates out of several thousand rows stored on a MySQL database. I also want to be able to define maximum and minimum distances between the coordinate in question and the coordinates in the database. How best am I to go about this? Would it be bonkers...
Hi all, I have a database of cities (in both the US and the rest of the world). The database entries are simple text strings. Currently the database contains even small cities (population 10,000). I wish to use a larger scale database instead, by assigning the cities into larger geographical\metropolitan areas. An example can be the Me...
