One more thing. Is there a place to submit incorrect data in hopes they'll eventually fix the data? ..and what is the other option instead of the API's geocoder? I noticed in your maps that 30115 brings up the zip correctly. ..does this mean you aren't using the API's geocoder?
thanks again and best wishes!
