I'm looking for a web page that will give me a zip code from a latitude

to find out what zip code I am in from my mobile phone. It has GPS. Is
there a better group to ask this question in?
http://www.google.com/gmm will accept lat,long as a search key, and then you
can search for local businesses from there.
This is pretty data intensive, and a java download to your phone. It is
suggested that you have a data plan, rather than pay as you go.
I searched for Pizza around my current location, and used 100KB to get a
map of my location, and the pizza locations in the area.
