The zipcodes for a number of spots I've checked in the Orange County, California region have incorrect lat/lons associated with them. Is there any way I can correct these myself? I tried using the google map editor system but there doesn't seem to be a zipcode marker to edit.

Example:
GEONAMES:
1 Huntington Beach 92649 United States California Orange
33.64/-117.769

ACTUAL: 33.67458 / -117.99901


All the zipcodes for Huntington Beach (92605,92615, 92646-49) all have the same incorrect lat/lon :

The only way to help improve lat/lng for postal codes is to send me a file with correct or improved lat/lng or post it on the forum.
I will then apply it to the database.

Thanks
