All programs on this site can be used in any application for free within limits. Exceeding the free limit will cause your application to be locked out for a period of time. The limits are as follows:

Each IP is allowed 150 "hits" on any program followed by a 120 minute cessation of activity. After 120 minutes of no activity, your application will again be allowed another 150 hits.

If this level of usage is not adequate for your application, "hits" can be purchased based on the following schedule:

"Enterprise use" Rate Schedule

1-1000 hits: $.01 per hit ($10 minimum)
1,001-5,000 hits: $10 plus $.005 per hit over 1,000 hits
5,001-10,000 hits: $30 plus $.003 per hit over 5,000 hits
10,001-50,000 hits: $45 plus $.002 per hit over 10,000 hits
50,001-200,000 hits: $125 plus $.0015 per hit over 50,000 hits
200,001+ hits: $350 plus $.001 per hit over 200,000 hits.

This schedule applies to hits purchased in advance.

Example:

Your application has a requirement of 15,000 hits.

$10.00 - First 1000 hits
$20.00 - 1001 to 5000 hits
$15.00 - 5001 to 10000 hits
$10.00 - 10001 to 15000 hits
---------------------
$55.00 Total.

See this page for a hit calculator: Sales Information Page

Additional hits purchased are not additive. It would be most cost effective to purchase more than you need. No refunds for unused hits.

Customized programmatic interfaces are available at standard programming charges.

It's our pleasure to announce that the polygon products can now be offered in shapefile format in addition to text dumps at no additional charge! Import these polygons directly into your shapefile compatible systems!

We've published an new version of the popular 2000 ZCTA zip code boundary (click here) map that allows the merging of multiple zip code areas into one large area. This map (2000 ZCTA Zip Code Union Demo) can take a list of zip codes, clicks on the map or keying in zip codes one at a time to construct this merged (union of polygons) boundary.

A page with a summary of the examples created as demos or discussion aids has been added at: Examples.htm. All examples are GPL, so use them as you see fit.

The Tiger/Line based geocoder has been upgraded to use the Google Maps API and several other improvements. The database has also been upgraded to the 2006FE Tiger data. See http://maps.huge.info/geocoder for details. The older version is still available at http://maps.huge.info/geocoder/oldgeocoder.pl

The Geocoder has been upgraded to use the latest available Tiger/Line database, 2006SE.

For those who wish to see samples of the actual data files used in creating the USPS zip code and 2006 ZCTA boundary maps, there is a sample directory available in both shapefile and SQL data dump format:

www.usnaviguide.com/samples

The SQL data dump is PostgreSQL format, so no geometry is involved, however, the spatial data is stored as point and polygon data types so spatial queries can still be performed. This is for those that do not have PostGIS or another shapefile aware data system.

If you are interested in purchasing hits from our servers, here is important information for you to know:

The "hit" system is based on knowing your IP, which is a unique number that identifies your connection. Most servers, companies and home DS/Cable connections have an IP that rarely changes. Dial up users get a different IP each time they connect.

In order for us to apply "hits" you've purchased correctly, we need to know what IP your connection is using. If you are using a server and want to retrieve data from us, you should know your IP or should ask your administrator for this information. If you are using our services from a high speed connection, your IP will be attached automatically and added to an e-mail sent from our system (see link below).

After purchasing hits from one of the links provided on our salesdata page, please use the following link to send us an e-mail with the following information:

IP of your server
Name of application to be used (reverse geocoder, zip code inquiry, etc.)
Site of the application (maps.huge.info or usnaviguide.com)

High speed internet users don't need to know their IP, it is automatically attached to the e-mail.

Link: Send us your IP

Please allow up to 48 hours to have your request processed. Many times this will occur within an hour or less.

We've just released postcode tiles for Australia in zoom levels 5-17. These tiles are available to use on your own site for a $250 signup fee plus the regular per hit charges that apply to all our programs. Each tile delivered counts as a single hit.

Here's a sample at zoom level 14: (Sydney Harbor)

If you'd like to sign up to use these tiles on your site, send us an e-mail (click here) and we'll send you the details on how this can be accomplished.

Tiles for USPS Zip Codes and ZCTA's for the United States are also available...

As some may have noticed, a new tool has been added to the zip code maps (2006 ZCTA Zip Code Boundary Map and USPS Zip Code Boundary Map) that allows searching for local businesses within the viewport of the map. This exciting new tool, part of the Google AJAX Search API, provides the user with an easy to use and effective search.

Please give this tool a try.

We've developed a new product that contains the following fields:

This table contains:
41,768 zip codes.
41,533 zip codes with centroids.
31,580 zip codes with bounding boxes.
10,188 point zip codes (PO Boxes, single buildings, etc.)

Included with this product is the state number to state name reference, with state bounding box and the county number to county name reference tables.

The price of this product is $200.00 and is available now. The data is current as of 09/2007.

We've released a new application in our zip code arsenal for displaying a single zip code boundary:

www.usnaviguide.com/zipencoded.htm

This page uses the Google Maps Encoded Polygon method, so as you zoom in for a closer look, the details of the boundary increase and zooming out for a broader view shows less and less detail.

A license to this system can be purchased for $7,000 which includes the page, the server program, the zip code polygon database (unencoded) and the encoded database along with a database of every zip code identified with name, point (if possible), county, state and other information.

We are proud to introduce a new product: Australian Postcode Boundary Map with search. This new program displays official Australian postcode boundaries from the entire continent down to the individual street level.

australianpostcodesearch.com

Searching is by city, postcode or address.

The tile layer for this program is available for a fee to use in your own maps! See salesdata.htm for more details.

We've recently added the telephone area code (NPA) to the zip code information being displayed on the USPS Zip Code Boundary Map page. This new bit of information appears in the infowindow (bubble) when the pushpin marking the zip code is clicked and also appears on the sidebar under the zip code name.

The area code data is current as of July/2007 and is derived from the Maponics NPA Area Code polygon database combined with the USNaviguide's USPS Zip Code Boundary polygon database.

Due to our reduced cost in producing the USPS Zip Code Polygon database, we are happy to announce a price reduction from $5000 to $2000 for the entire USA zip code polygon database. We've also changed the license policy on updates to no longer honor the discount when purchasing an update. Previous customers will still be entitled to the $1250 update price, all new customers from this date forward will pay the full price for updates.

We are proud to announce the birth of our first child, Catherine, born on August 5th at 3:35am. She's healthy, perfect and beautiful.
