Latitude and longitude can find zip code?

Question

I am using Google geocoder for lat and lon and my question is, is there a way you can find out zipcode with latitude and longitude?

Answer 1

I think what you are looking for is the address_components[] in the results array. Maybe something like this would work, just typing the below so it might have errors in it but I think you will get the idea.

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#Results

function (request, response) {
  geocoder.geocode({ 'address': request.term, 'latLng': centLatLng, 'region': 'US' }, function (results, status) {
    response($.map(results, function (item) {
      return {
       item.address_components.postal_code;//This is what you want to look at
      }
}
