Hi,

There are zipcode lists with LAT and LONG coordinates for each zipcode.

http://www.zipinfo.com/products/products.htm

You can calculate your route's slope, distance and direction using the
codes, and then look up intersection paths in the DB.

Hope that helps.

I've done this before, and it is actually pretty exciting when it starts
working ;)

I am faced with a rather interesting challenge.

I will be working on an application that will help a company increase
efficiency in shipping goods around the company. The company has its own
fleet of shipping vehicles but occasional will use independents for small
loads.

What I need to figure out is if independent x from zip code z1 is driving to
zip code z2 what cities/towns does the route pass through or close to
(within 2 miles).

TIA,
Duane
