Does anyone know if this is possible or available? Thanks Like Amber, I need the ability to save these (3 or 5 digit) zip code boundaries to “My Maps” in google, to track our marketing campaigns.

It does not have the boundary information as mentioned by Matt earlier. However, the ZIP code list is good for validation purpose. Nothing wrong to give it a try as it is FREE. http://www.zipcodeworld.com/zipcodefree.htm You can get the free monthly updates ZIP code database from the following URL.

Thanks, Jay discussions@surveysquare.com Does anyone know of a tool that would let you enter a primary zip code and then load up a 2nd list of multiple zip codes so that you can plot them on a state, regional or US map?

You can use this to find any US zip code maps. You can search by (City, State OR Zip). they have all the maps showing zip codes and major mile streets in all of the united states. The service is free. Search for five Digit Zip Code and find the Maps for all 50 states. A Free ZIP Code Finder which can do wonders for you.

Important to remind anyone doing serious analysis though, that ZCTAs are very much not "ZIP Codes". Commercial companies (like Maponics - www.maponics.com - where I work) use much more accurate and current data than ZCTAs. Of course, ZIP Codes are not really polygons anyway - they are collections of houses that have the same ZIP Code, but that's a whole other story.

Take a look at http://www.mapszipcode.com. The site is complete but I intend on adding more tools and info as time permits. I have built a set of tools to work on zip codes.

I didn't realize zip codes were so irregular shaped and weird looking. Check out my zip code 90211 and the craxy shaped LA zip codes arount it. That’s a cool.
