Hi Zakir,

I'm not sure that PRPC has such a system built-in : but you might want to see if you can use Google's 'GeoCode' API (which is a REST Service) from PRPC.

I'm not an expert on this API by any means: but it seems quite smart in that it figures out what you mean from the structure of the Post-Code, so for instance:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=100-8994

Works out it's a Japanese Postal Code; whereas:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=RG13JH

Figures out it's a UK Post code (Pega EMEA's office in fact).

It seems to be able to reverse this from Address->Postal Code:

So for instance:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Nagata-ch%C5%8D,%20Chiyoda-ku,%20Tokyo

Will bring back the Prime Minister's house ( Prime minister - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

By the way - it answers in JSON ; like this:

{
  "results" : [
  {
  "address_components" : [
  {
  "long_name" : "Nagatacho",
  "short_name" : "Nagatacho",
  "types" : [ "sublocality_level_1", "sublocality", "political" ]
  },
  {
  "long_name" : "Chiyoda",
  "short_name" : "Chiyoda",
  "types" : [ "locality", "political" ]
  },
  {
  "long_name" : "Tokyo",
  "short_name" : "Tokyo",
  "types" : [ "administrative_area_level_1", "political" ]
  },
  {
  "long_name" : "Japan",
  "short_name" : "JP",
  "types" : [ "country", "political" ]
  },
  {
  "long_name" : "100-0014",
  "short_name" : "100-0014",
  "types" : [ "postal_code" ]
  }
  ],
  "formatted_address" : "Nagatacho, Chiyoda, Tokyo 100-0014, Japan",
  "geometry" : {
  "bounds" : {
  "northeast" : {
  "lat" : 35.6799042,
  "lng" : 139.7498932
  },
  "southwest" : {
  "lat" : 35.6712107,
  "lng" : 139.7369964
  }
  },
  "location" : {
  "lat" : 35.6768321,
  "lng" : 139.7399329
  },
  "location_type" : "APPROXIMATE",
  "viewport" : {
  "northeast" : {
  "lat" : 35.6799042,
  "lng" : 139.7498932
  },
  "southwest" : {
  "lat" : 35.6712107,
  "lng" : 139.7369964
  }
  }
  },
  "place_id" : "ChIJu0OPaoiLGGAR_QFKLcwXEWE",
  "types" : [ "sublocality_level_1", "sublocality", "political" ]
  }
  ],
  "status" : "OK"
}

So that should be reasonably straight-forward to map to PRPC Properties.

Not sure this will be a suitable solution : it depends on whether your PRPC system has access to the Google Site or not of course.
