    Default 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

    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 )

    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....
