It's all of that sort of data, zips, maps etc. You can get zip codes from the USPS sure, but you need map data to tell where it is and most of that comes from one place as I recall. We've had a major new highway across West Michigan for over a year and a half yet ALL the map services are still missing it. So is my Garmin GPS and I PAY for updates to that. You should hear that thing trying to get me back on route when I'm driving the 'non-existant' highway. "Off Route, Re-Calculating" then it tells me to turn right or left on every cross street! :-)

its not just frappr, if I do a map lookup on google maps, google earth,
mapquest et al for my current address its off about 5 miles or so, if I use
the old one (before they renumbered the road 2-3 yrs ago) it shows correctly

Maybe they need to put it on an i5 and apply the monthly updates from
ZipCity.  I like that package.   :-)
