New Google Maps US Zip Code Mashups and Tools
Thursday, July 20, 2006
Map helps you see neighoring zip codes - Maps.Huge.Info has long had a great list of Google Maps based boundary and zip code tools. Geo Developer John Coryat has informed me that he has improved his zip code map to use a custom tile layer which covers the US from zoom level 5 to 17 with potentially millions of tiles. When you search a zip code you see all other zip codes close by - give it a try!
Other US Zip Code Google Maps Mashups & Tools:
- Local News, Traffic, Weather (and more) by zip code (Good)
- eBay Search Tool by zip code
- Zip Code Map - All US zip codes

I wish a Google zip code mashup could be integrated into my Microsoft outlook contacts database so that when I travel to a meeting in a new city (identified by zip code), I can pull up google map that overlays all of my contacts who live/work in the surrounding 50 mile radius. Does this exist? Are there barriers to creating such a map?
Give this a try:

Not really a mashup but a cool interactive ZIP Code map:

I am looking to lookup numbers from a database indexed by zipcode and display different colors based on number ranges. I would prefer to even go further down to voting precincts. How can I do this and is there data to show voting precincts by color just like the zipcodes above (or alternatively, 9 digit zipcodes)? I'm a coder, BTW.
I'm looking for a tool to make an image in which a map of the U.S. has specific area codes colored in with specific colors, as chosen by me. i.e. 150 richest neighborhoods contrasted with 150 poorest neighborhoods. Does this exist?
I am looking to input a number of zip codes (my user base) and see where in the country they are concentrated (color mapping by density of users or density by population)
I am not a programmer, btw
thanks!
You can batch geo-codeyour zip codes here:

For heat mapping try:

This was great, but didn't allow (or I couldn't figure out how to) for showing the density of people in my sample in each zip code. Any way to make the pins larger or smaller accordingly, or to add a density number on top of the map it generates? Thanks.
I would like to work with the developer to get this added as a mashup on google maps when you do a search...please respond to this post
@anonymous - there are contact details on the website if you wish to get in touch with the developers.
