According to Wikipedia.org: Google Maps is a free web map server application and technology provided by Google that powers many map-based services including Google Maps, Google Ride Finder and embedded maps on third-party websites via the Google Maps API. It offers street maps, a route planner, and an urban business locator for numerous countries around the world.
Universal ActionScript 3.0 Mapping API: uMaps
uMaps is an universal ActionScript 3.0 mapping API.
This flexible API enables developers to build fully-customized solutions. The current version is integrated with OpenStreetMap and Microsoft Virtual Earth map data.
uMaps features:
- Support for custom map tiles and providers
- Flash / Flex versions
- KML Support
- FLA-Based Map Controls
- Marker Manager
- Advanced content layering
Using a universal API is very helpful as you can easily switch between mapping providers without updating the codes. As Google Maps API for Flash is released (see WRD post), it may be integrated into uMaps too and can make the product better.
This Flash mapping API is free for personal use and requires a license for commercial use.
