There are many wrong postal code lat/lons in Alaska. I originally thought it was just because they covered such a large area, they looked funny, but some of these are actually being put in cities with other zip codes, so I don't think that's it. Maybe old zip code info or something? I haven't checked them all, but here are a couple that came up recently:

99605 -> For Hope, but in Ninilchik which has it's own zip code
99693 -> Nowhere near Whittier and on the other side of Valdez which has it's own zip code
99741 -> Several cities (with their own zip codes) down from Galena
99689 -> For Yukatat, but placed in between Juneau and Gustavus which both have their own zip codes

Do you know the correct lat/lng?

I don't have very accurate info, but I'll take a stab. I guarantee that they at least make sense.

99605: 60.872585,-149.468293
99693: 60.7734, -148.6839
99741: 65.8263, 154.4373
99689: 59.8120, -139.5505

Thanks, I have updated the db with these lat/lng.
