Is anybody aware of any existing world-wide data-collection effort of postal codes in relation to geogrpahical coordinates (long/lat)?
Just: country_code + postal_code <====> (long, lat) in a one-to-one relationship, as crude as that might be.

I've added the GB_POSTAREA table with some 3000 primary postal area entries, all with XY coordinates which can be used on www.multimap.com (See the notes in the DATA_INDEX for details on how to use - getting to them will give you exercise on ibWebAdmin ;) )
Also added last night is an old US_ZIPCODE table - it's a start.
The object of the archive is to build a database of useful information such as post codes, states, towns/cities, and the like - all running on PHP of cause, into a Firebird database.
Feel free to forward any additional information you have for inclusion ;)
