Is there a graphical map representation of a list of zip codes?

Does anybody know of a (preferably freeware) program that will take my list of zip codes and highlight them in a map?



I have a list of zip codes supported by different representatives and would like to see their area coverage graphically on a map.



Thanks for any help.

If you are willing to type your zip codes manually, the online resources at Maps.Huge.Info can do the trick for you: http://maps.huge.info/



Definitely try out their various projects they list, but the '2000 ZCTA Zip Code Boundary Map - Line Based' and the '2000 ZCTA Zip Code Boundary Map - Merges Zip Codes into one Boundary' look most promising for your needs as the first will highlight only those zip codes you enter and the second will merge those zip codes into a single polygon.

You can write code to Microsoft's Mapping "system" ( like google maps) and can get latitude / longitude "pins" plotted on the map from zip codes.



Google maps probably has something similar. This would require some programming - but at least the effort would be worth it as it would be visible anywhere online.
