Hi,
In my website, I ask the user to enter their postal code. Is there a way for me to convert the postal code to area name. For example to richmond Hill, or maybe in the US to BeverlyHills.

Thanks a lot

Even if there was...I wouldn't trust it...plus that would mean you would have to do a live lookup at Canada Post which means more lag and loadtime for the enduser.
