Marketplace zip codes

[hoonu]

There appears to be a glitch with the zipcode database in the Marketplace. I'm in NC, but with my zipcode entered, the distances aren't close. I've had Florida come up as 95 miles, and NY as about 250. The left coast appears correct, but what's an acceptable error when you're talking 2500 miles? Just thought I'd point it out.

It's a problem with the database that's supplied. We've been looking at other possible fixes.

Any fixes on this? I'd like to simply clear my zipcode and see the zip of the Seller's location... then I can googlemap it and be done. It's one more step, but I'm frustrated to see an accessory that's only 95 miles away from Pittsburgh in Raleigh NC (actually some 510 miles away!)

Honouring the Mini, they must be using those British miles...

Thanks gnat... when you get a chance...

The link above is for the archives prior to the switch to the current format.
There is no "zip/distance from" tool on the old style.
In the "Market" (up top under NAM logo) under "Distance" it will ask you to give your zip:http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...cat.php/cat/22

And then it will tell you it's 92 miles from Pittsburgh to Raleigh...

Much more convenient but still have to enter each ad to find out where they are located,why cant the sellers city plus state be a part of the info.

The zipcode issue was reported to IB and it took them a while to figure out what they'll need to do to fix it. Apparently not a simple fix but it's on their to-do list.
