need help with australian post codes

Post by jeephp »

hey everyone,
I am looking for a way to find the closest location(s) to a postcode supplied by a user. I'm not just looking for the closest numerically - but the closest geographically. Specifically I am looking for a solution that works with Australian postcodes.

I have been searching online but not managed to find a database of postcode locations calculations- or a way of calculating distance between these - and was hoping that someone might have some experience in this area or pointers to where I should look for further information.

Thanks a lot!

Check this out : http://planet-source-code.com/vb/script ... 0&lngWId=8
Most probably only US zip codes db - you can try contacting the autour and ask if he has any info on other countries' codes.
