Hi,
I have a database (MS-ACCESS) with more than 100,000 records locations
from all over the world including address and zip code. What I want to
do is to display the address on google map based on the address zip
code from the database. To this moment my biggest problem is that I do
not know how to get the longitude/latitude.

The project is written in classic ASP, so I would appreciate any
useful help.

Thanks a lot.
Good day.

It's called geocoding. There are a number of services to do that for
you : on the fly at the client, in bulk at the server, paid for and
free. Most free services have some kind of restriction about volume
and/or rate and will balk at 100,000 at once. You gets what you pay
for.

Hi,
I have a database (MS-ACCESS) with more than 100,000 records locations
from all over the world including address and zip code. I wrote some code that pins a flag on the address, but my problem comes from setcenter function, because the default coordinates are far away from the flag of the address.
What I need is to correlate the setcenter to the address from the database. Any ideeas?


Thanks a lot.
Good day.
