Did I mention I love this script too? Makes life so much easier for not only no name areas, but fence lines.

ZIP Codes don't appear for me yesterday or today. Is this a problem with the external data source?
I'm using version 2023.02.06.002 from gf and I also have the same issue.

It seems to be working. Are you still having issues?
After disabling some scripts I noticed it started working right. I don't know which one was the issue but ya.

Make sure you keep the "Dynamic label position" options turned on.
The reason I had it unchecked was to hide it from the map and only have it show in the city bar.

Ok. With those disabled, it
should keep the label fixed at the center of the polygon so you normally don't see them unless you're zoomed out far enough. But the current release messes that up and the labels will move, depending on zoom level. People have told me they don't see a point in having the centered labels, so I was going to make the dynamic labels the default, and remove the option to keep them static. But I can see where some people may prefer not to clutter the map with labels while editing, but still view zip info in the bar and boundary lines on the map. I've been planning to add options to customize the display more (change colors, etc). When I get there, I could add an option to simply hide the labels.
That's exactly what I would want. Just the zip code in the bar. I loaded up my desktop and it did exactly what it use to do. Which is what I'm use to having before the update.

Thanks MapOMatic for the awesome ability to pull in USPS routes!
I'm seeing some instances where it is pulling in alternate cities rather than the default / recommended city. Here's an example in Menlo Park, CA - zip 94025. The script is pulling back West Menlo Park, which is evidently an allowed alternate name, but it is not the common name, and it's also not the recommended name using the USPS Zip Code locator searching for an address (I used 1185 Noel Dr, 94025 for my testing)

The "West Menlo Park" section of Menlo Park is in a different area of town, but the zip code 94025 is used for both. It must just be a mistake.
Here's another address giving an incorrect result: 25501 Chapin Rd, Los Altos Hills, CA
The script is using Los Altos instead of Los Altos Hills.

If you use the USPS Zip Code by Address search, and put the address in without city / state, and add the zip code, the search comes back with the "correct" city, at least in the two examples above (Menlo Park instead of West Menlo Park, and Los Altos Hills instead of Los Altos).

I’m getting Los Altos Hills when using the USPS Zip Code search. I entered the address and zip (25501 Chapin Rd, 94022) without a city name (or state). But regardless, clearly USPS has inconsistent data in he zip code search vs. the source you are pulling from, and edge cases will require local knowledge or additional verification.
