This data set of US ZIP Codes was created using raw data provided by the
United States Postal Service (USPS) and processed using
Microsoft Visual FoxPro and MapInfo.
The polygons were created by converting points to polygons. The point
information provided by the USPS was ZIP+4 data which included
latitude and longitude. Using a convex hull algorithm, "detailed"
polygons were able to be created for each ZIP Code. The GIS data was
created to be used for a Internet web mapping application as well as
other GIS marketing projects.
