The process for finding the geographic coordinates for an address (a zip code is an address) is called geocoding: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Geocoding It is bad practice to geocode known addresses every time your map loads, geocode them once off-line and save the result. The best place to start is the documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/ and Mike Williams' tutorial: http://econym.org.uk/gmap/ -- Larry > > Thanks, > Vince C. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
