I'm a little confused of how the precision of longitude/latitude diminishes in larger cities. I'm using the PostalCodeSearch service.
Example, these two zip codes for santa barbara 93101 and 93130 returns different longitude/latitude points; while these two (90007 and 90210) for Los Angeles returns the same one.
This is true for Copenhagen, Denmark as well, where the countryside is highly precise - while zip codes in Copenhagen like 1114 and 2200 returns the same lon/lat point..
Is this me using this service in the wrong way or is the data for metropolitan areas not of a higher quality?
Alternatively you can send me the postal code db, and I'll take a look.
Thanks in advance and thanks for providing this service.
