You are doing better than me then ;) Although I do have a reasonable
test setup based on the Isle of Man

The next problem is to convert the postcode to a co-ordinate that is
using the same scale as your map. This will then give you an 'x' and 'y'
for the section of map you want,

I think I'm in the same boat - how do you select a scaled view centred
on the x and Y coordinates that you have :( And then return the actual x
and y back from the map when you select the exact point? I can pan and
zoom to the point, but need to go there automatically.

I won't hold MySQL against you, never used it myself, but anything that
can give the data required will do the job.
