Instead of zip use the following?

Use Addresses Use Census Units Use your own Spatial Index

Why not lat, long?

Lat/lon is in a spherical coordinate. It’s more complicated to do calculation.

Btw. I have a need recently to compute the shortest distance from a point to a line defined by two points, all in lat/lon. Anyone has any lead on how to do it?
