Global navigation?

[Rob Harris]

I'l search,  the only one so far is $40 or so, and goes up in leaps and
bounds from there.  Real data is big business.  I do the site as a hobby, 
so didn't want to throw money at it too.  Still, if osmeone else found a
few zip/coordinates list, I'd take it away to play with.

Thanks, RobH at Work.
