Does anyone know of any map software comparable to Google Maps API? I am aware of MapPoint and Yahoo Maps API. Any others? Anyone here have experience with MapPoint or Google Maps Enterprise? I would use Google but the site doesn't conform to the standard TOS agreement.

I know that google keeps their maps api wrapped up tight, to the point that a developer and i just faked data to showcase an added feature we were proposing.

alternatives?...hmm....tough one ... google maps/api is so far ahead of the rest ... and is fun to work with too I find .... TOS...heh.... guess you don't want to violate and have them train the satellite-mounted lasers at you....

Thanks, I haven't found anything open source yet that can easily do what I need. I am doing a research phase for someone who wants a subscription based map with data driven labels and info. Google and Yahoo were the obvious choices but neither allow you for use on pages not free to the public. Except Googles Enterprise version which I have heard is very expensive.

I am going to have to call the companies. M$ has the same restrictions.

I'm waiting on a call from M$. Google Maps for Enterprise API starts at $10,000 per year.
