OK..so last night after I sent my message I did some more searching
and got close, then got up this morning and find Jeff and Remy
pointing me further in the right direction. What I want to do is
display zipcode data on a map from recent visitors and/or members.
Pretty simple. This site makes it REALLY simple:
http://www.batchgeocode.com/
Step 1: make sure your data is in tab delimited format, Step 2: copy
and paste into the page and click the button.
That's pretty much it. You will be presented with a Yahoo map
displaying your data along with a button to download the results in a
Google KML file which is easily opened inside Google Earth. You can
also grab the embed code and display the map on your own Web page if
you like. Sheesh! It doesn't get much easier! Works for US and Canada
as well as a number of European countries.
Thanks, people! I LOVE this list! Great signal to noise ratio.
