And may not charge, depending on your business type. If mapping is core to
business, however, you will have to pay.

Not really familiar with the service but I know that
Google and Yahoo have MAP APIs.

I am actually using Yahoo's Geo APIs to get longitude and latitude of the
US address.

>>I have been using MS MapPoint for a few years now to display icons
(potentially thousands of them) on Maps of the UK, France and Australia,
but mainly the UK. This service costs me £4500/year (for 100,000 hits I
think, of which I use very few). I am only using the service to serve up
the map images, from then I do all the icon plotting business server side.
What I want to know is, can anyone recommend any cheaper alternitives to
MapPoint that would work for me? It would also be an imporvement if I
were allowed to keep the maps server side.
