geocode

Hello,

I want to create a searchable Business Directory. I know how to do this using simple criteria like State and City. My current hurdle is figuring out how to do this by zipcode regions. I did some searching and found that there is a module called "Location" that touches on the concept but Im not sure if that is the way to go.
