[SGVLUG] Nearest venue application? google maps, yahoo maps api

[matti]

Hi!

Ok - I've been thinking about this one for
a LONG time. I wrote dealer locate code
at my last programming/software engineering
job .. back in the early days of the internet.

NOW - it looks like I can do this without
paying $$$ for the data thanks to SOA
and google/yahoo with available APIs to
interface to their maps.

I found a website which has a list of
websites which do this..
http://www.programmableweb.com/

Here is one I liked..
www.drinkdeal.com

tho, I'm not certain if I want to use .asp
(prefer not to.. )

Question:
Anyone play with these yet?
Any recommendations?
(ideally looking for something easy to
setup - opensourced base is desired.)

thanks
matti
