SYNOPSIS

map  [ 5_digit_USA_zipcode | latitude longitude ]

DESCRIPTION

Maps from specified regions. For US zipcodes, this code uses the US Census Department's Tiger Map server. Response times are therefore somewhat variable. Otherwise, or if the Tiger Map server does not respond, the maps come from a publicly distributed CIA database which is resident on the artcontext.net server.

The options are as follows:

5_digit_USA_zipcode	Delivers a map from a specified American postal region.
latitude longitude	Shows a map from the specified global coordinates.

EXAMPLES

map  90210

map

map  -30.3 120.33

The first example returns a map from Beverly Hills. The second example returns the default: a map of lower New York. The last example shows Western Australia. It's 30 (use "-" for south) south latitude and (use "-" for west) 120 degress east longitude.

ORIGIN

Map was developed for Lexicon in 2002.
