RS, Well, since the ability to set a destination by zip code isn't fully available like setting a destination by address, POI, or lat/lon yet. I think that a work-around that I have tried and seems to work resonably well is to do a POI search and put in the approximate distances of where you think this zip code is from you, then accept the all category, then when it ask for the string you wish to search for, here is where you type the zip code in your prefered grade of entry. Of course in this situation it iwll present all of hte POI's with that zip code, I have usually set the first one that appeared as my destination and off I went.
