PlaceFinder

While researching for another project, I discovered I needed the United States Zip+4 postal code to enable retrieval of a more precise level of results data. The Zip Code retriever I have installed on the WiredPages Business & Markets page, [currently] only returns the 5 digit code.

Last evening, I found a more precise data set-- demonstrated below.

The interface utilizes Java Servlet technology. Also required-- a developer relationship with the data provider.

Want something similar-- customized for your site? Contact me here.

Yes, I plan to update the Zip Code Retriever interface used on WiredPages. Currently, the interface allows the user to link to the USPS web site based on [assumed U.S.] postal code results. Since the new service will produce postal codes for most countries-- I will have to rethink the linking feature. No big deal, just not sure what I want to do at this time.
