OT: Recommendation for mapping service
A client of mine is a membership organization with chapters throughout the
country. We are trying to find a map service or application to have on the
site for visitors to find the location closest to them. They'd like to have
a US map that shows clickable icons for current locations, with the ability
to zoom in by state or area. Would also like the ability to simply search
for a chapter via state and/or zipcode and show their meeting data
(location, times, contact info, etc.) The meeting information does change
regularly so an easy way to update would be needed. I have been searching
for "mapping services" but am not getting the type of service I want through
those search terms. Anyone have any suggestions or worked with a service or
application that they've been happy with?
Thanks in advance,
Janice

Re: Recommendation for mapping service
Hi Janice,
I bookmarked this one some time ago when I read an online recommendation.
I never used it myself but it looks like it might fit what you are looking
for. ( http://ultimatelocator.com/features.htm )

Re: Recommendation for mapping service
It seems Google Maps encourages innovative design like this but I am not
privy to any specific application....but, if you look at the likes of
www.zillow.com it is out there....
