So, I'm starting with a blank canvas (whiteboard) here...and need some direction.

I'd like to create a map/locator style application and really...have no idea where to start....I've done some searching but only came up with information and resource on application hosting providers and all of that good stuff..


Thanks people.

Anyone? I'm just looking to create a basic map application that has a database of all locations that I specify...pretty simple I'd think once I get the concept or a good resource of two...

Thanks in advanced for the 411!


EDIT: Did some more research, for any one that's curious there's a google api among other open sources resources for this type of thing

I think MrBlue's suggestion is very good. OpenStreetMap data is free and very detailed. It is very worth using, even if the api is quite harder to master than Google's or Bing's.
