Search My Map by a zipcode

[IFI DNA LAB]

I created a map that has a list of all of our affiliate collection sites.  When a customer calls in and gives us the zip code that they are located in, we need to be able to locate the nearest affiliate to our customer.  My map is located http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=207916841160809082102.0004b3acb32bdc53b2020&msa=0

 

I like how walgreens is set up - to put in your zip code - then it provides a list on the left and a google map on the right - how do i get this?

you will need your own Database of zip codes,
then the lat/lon center point of each area,
and finally the lat/lon of your affiliate sites ..
do the comparison,
send the lat/lon of nearest to the API ..

You could use the Google geocoder for the user's zipcode. It's a
standard store locator application. I'm not sure you can use My Maps
for it, but the example is fully worked.
