I've seen it at another contract I worked a year ago, but not sure if
the GPS-to-US-zip-code data was freely available or a paid service. The
database I used for my job there had the entire US postal code regions
mapped out based on latitude/longitude so the data IS out there. Just a
matter of seeing if it's free to download from somewhere. The database
was gigantic though, I'm not sure it's something you'd want to store on
the device itself.
Going to the 5 digit zips is easy - it's well under a meg.
5 digit + 4 is a whole different matter.
But is the data freely available, or is it constrained by copyright or the
like.
There is public domain data for 5 digit zips in the US.
