This, That, and the Code

I’ve encountered a problem that it appears the Google maps API can’t resolve, but the yahoo maps API seems to.

If you try to reverse geocode a postal code using the Google maps api it never seems to give you the city the postal code is in, but the Yahoo API does.

So for the time being I’m going to be using the Yahoo API to reverse geocode Postal Codes and Google to reverse geocode everything else (Google’s daily limit is 50000 and Yahoo’s is 5000).

I’m going to read the terms of service but it looks like I’m going to plug into the yahoo one for postal codes.

Woot!
