Find Distance between two zip codes

I am trying to find a software that can find distance between two ZIP codes.
I think most of them do it by having the longtitude and latidute of each ZIP,
and substract. But this gives the air distance. Where can I find software that
find the ground distance (like in Mapquest).

Thanks,

Joe

This is not the forum for that question.

P.S. The distance will always be a rough approximation as the ZIP code
zones vary greatly in shape and thus square miles.

I have successfully created a zip code radius search, but the performance is unacceptable. I have two tables. The first is 52K zip codes w/lat and long. The second is 3K national business addresses. Using the zip code 10010, it takes almost 60 seconds to return 122 businesses within a 25 mile radius. This slowdown is almost entirely due to the query radius distance formula.

I have to find zipcodes within a given mileage range (25, 50, etc). I know it's possible to use the longitude/latitude to find this, and I have that for the zipcodes, but does anyone have a "ready made" formula? I know it has something to do with the sine/cosine, but the "signs" aren't clear enough to me (neither are the wonders). Thanks in advance for the wisdom. J

I am trying to find a script to a "dealer locator" or "find a store near you". I will have two tables. One will include all US and Canada ZIPs including lat and longtitudes.

When the user enters his ZIP code, the application needs to check (based on the lat and long) if there is a dealer in a 30 miles radious. After the application finds the list of all the...

I am trying to use the haversine function to find the distance between two points on a sphere, specifically two zip codes in my database. I'm neither horribly familiar with SQL syntax nor math equations :), so I was hoping I could get some help. Below is what I'm using and it is, as best as I can figure, the correct formula. It is not however, giving me correct results. Some are close, others don't seem right at all. Any ideas? SET...

I'm looking to find out how I'd go about setting up a database where a visitor to my site could punch in their postal code, and find out how far they are from another postal code. For example, AutoTrader has this feature I believe to tell you how far the vehicle is from you. Dating sites have them so you can do proximity searches. Anyone have any ideas where I could start? I'm thinking the post office, but if anyone else has...

I need an Access application that can search dealers from my dealer list, in a 30 miles distance from the user. You may see many applications like this on the web if you search under "find a dealer near you". Here is one I found: http://www.shakespeare-antennas.com/content/dealersearch.asp But I do not want to have it on the web, I want to create it on access. I think will need at least two tables:

Hi guys really hoping someone can advise me with this. I have a Perl script that connect to a PostgreSQL database and retrieves fields and rows from a database of bus timetables and bus stop information.
