map driving directions type site

driving directions

[matimer]

I need help with a site!

I just got a sweet map___.com site and I don't have any idea how to get a super cheap driving directions site up and running any ideas?

They're not cheap because they require all require server-side Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software. Unless you're going to steal the service of another provider like Mapquest, there is is no cheap solution I can think of.

Yah that's what I was afraid of ....

What map programs do you know of besides the obvious blast, quest, and point?

Any help would be appreciated.

Try GIS [directory.google.com] and Maps & Views [directory.google.com].

I like the no.1 listing site in the GIS area of DMOZ. I'm interested in this area, but only if a cheap solution could be found as, i don't particuarly want to promote a commercial online map based service, when all i wan't to do is provide directions for couriers and customers to drop off or pickup goods.

Can't really see it being a reality, at a low cost, though would certainly increase traffic and qudos for the site and the particular company in relation to customers.
