thats the way google maps works too..
They do have a utility for returning the lat / lon from a zip code, but I
havent had the time to research it just yet.
If you would like to see a sample of the google map in action, look at
http://www.bierschwale.com under the link USS W S SIMS FF1059.
It stores the data in an XML file and allows you to zoom in, out, etc...
Pretty neat little thing once you get it running.

Of course I was kidding! Why would I ever be interested in finding New
Jersey. I would be more interested in avoiding it.
Anyhow, it raises a point of some interest: How does one know Lat/Long if
he or she is a casual user? It's your app (and it is cool) but it seems to
me that Lat/Long is rather arcane way of specifying the area you are
interested in.
Just a thought.
