When can we expect state maps to receive zip codes as their entities?  Very rarely would anybody have data down to the county level, but zip codes would be used more often and are much more reliable (county names do change and/or vary depending on the source).

Hi,

This is possible using the Custom IDs in FusionMaps.

Ref:-http://www.fusioncharts.com/maps/docs/Contents/CustomID.html

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the suggestion.  Though the feature you pointed me to is good to know and possibly valuable in a different situation, it does not help my current situation, as I would still need to somehow map my zip-code level data to counties somehow.  Do you have a list of zip codes within the counties in your state maps by chance?  Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks for your time.

Hello,



I'm afraid we do not have a list of zip codes within the counties in the state maps.



Will a list of the Internal Id's, Short/Long names help in this situation?



If the above is true, then please call the function getEntityList in your Javascript. On doing this, you would get a array which includes a list of the above mentioned entities.



I hope this helps.

Thanks again for the prompt reply.  I've already manually compiled a list of the Internal Id's, Short/Long names (see the following post: http://www.fusioncharts.com/forum/Topic15050-11-1.aspx#bm18829).  Do you plan on enabling your state maps to receive zip-code level data?

Hey Ryan,



I have made a note of it. The incorporation of this feature though is yet to be decided on.



Happy FusionCharting.



P.s.- Great work on the list. Many thanks.

OK, so here's the thing.  I've been working for the past week or so to successfully map zip codes to counties, and haven't been able to do so for various reasons.  It basically comes down to the county names in the other data sources not matching FusionCharts' county names closely enough.

After these attempts had failed, I contacted a contact at the United States Postal Service (USPS), and she pointed me to the United States Census Bureau (USCB), as the USPS isn't concerned with counties and doesn't maintain that data.  Eventually I found out that the USCB does not have the zip code/county relationships that we need either, so I'm back to square one.

Because these are your maps with your county names, and because so many of your competing flash map companies offer zip-code mapping capabilities, I would like to request from you a list of all zip codes within the counties on your state maps.

While waiting, has anybody else found a solution to this?  I've tried http://www.boutell.com/zipcodes/,  http://www.populardata.com/zipcode_database.html and http://federalgovernmentzipcodes.us/ and as mentioned speaking with the USPS and the USCB.  Any help would be much appreciated!

Could you please drop a mail to: support@fusioncharts.com for this?

What is the status of this? Is this supported?

[Sudipto Choudhury]

Hi,



As of now, FusionMaps does not support Zip code mapping. We are working on our next major version where this would be supported.



The next major version is due in the last quarter of 2010.

[gsogol]

That's a shame. FlashMaps.com already supports this.

[Rajroop]

Hey,



At this point, all I can think of saying is: "Thank you for your love, patronage, support and patience"

Is this zip code mapping functionality available in new release now?

[Angshu]

Hi,

Welcome to FusionCharts Forum!

I am afraid, FusionMaps does not support zip code mapping, as of now.

We would get back to you once there is any news from our end.

Hope you have a great day!
