Sample App: US Zip Codes

AppSheet Tips & Tricks

I found a database of US zip codes that’s free for commercial use:> https://simplemaps.com/data/us-zips> It includes related data, like population, density, timezone, lat, long, etc.# I decided to build it into a quick sample app:

Feel free to copy and use the zip codes in your app.

NOTE: The Simple Maps site asks that you link back to them somewhere in your app.

That’s fun, thanks for posting this resource.
Side note: you should turn on the pin grouping.

Thank you @GreenFlux.
I especially like the use of the VC “SelfRef”
As far as I understand you are using it to get the image and zip together in the header column?

Thanks! Yes, the “SelfRef” VC shows both the labels for the current record as if it were a child record.

So both the Text-Label and Image-Label show together as a single value, instead of in separate columns.
