Hi,

Your choices are:

1. Purchase a copy of the MapInfo designer software abd build your own map with the desired data points in it.
2. Purchase the ESRI maps addin for Cognos and use that
3. Look into whether google maps supports zip codes and maybe build a solution using this. I think use of google maps is free for personal use but requires a license for commercial use.

Thanks for the reply.
Will the zoom options be available if maps are created with MapInfo and then published in cognos.I think that option will not be present and this will act like a custom map along with the other maps present in map manager.

Any maps you build in Mapinfo will behave like standard Cognos maps once you have made them available for use in your Cognos instance.
