Mapping API recommendations?

Which Mapping API (Google, MSFT, YHOO) is best

[rp0229]

Hi All,

I'm new to this world and was hoping for some input in the pros/cons of the mapping APIs that are available on the web today. I'm interested in using them for mash-up development (original or what?) and was hoping to hear about people's experiences.

Thanks tons.

I like Google's for ease of use and versatility, not to mention a great support community. However, it does lack a geocoding API, so I use Yahoo's geocoding API for that.

yeah i would definitley agree with that, yahoo's geocoder is great, but their maps don't match google maps (which only lacks the geocoder)..
