[gps-talkusers] Re: How do you find an address by zipcode:

Hello Todd,

The map data we have from TeleAtlas only has 5 digit zipcodes for the USA 
so when I do implement this feature we will only have 5 digit zipcodes here 
in the USA.

Canada currently doesn't have any postal code information in their maps so 
adding postal code support for Canada will not happen until the maps we get 
have this information within them.

UK maps currently only have 6 character postal codes instead of their more 
precise 8 character postal codes.

So once I have implemented postal / zipcode indexing, the USA should have 5 
digit zipcode address searching, and the UK should have up to 6 character 
postal code address searching capabilities.

Thank you
Charles.
