Find a distance between two zip codes

A

Andrew Thompson

anyone knows the formula for Finding a distance between two zip codes?

Do you even know the locations?

The geometry from latitude and longtitude
is fairly straighforward.

More difficult if you want a 'distance by road'
(in fact, that is where the problem gets very
interesting, and it is what I suspect your
homework is actually asking for)

At this stage, given the level of your question,
you should be asking it on c.l.j.help.

You can do it approximately with a table that looks up the first three
digits and converts to state. Calculate distance between state
centres.
