Hehe Google Mercator projection and start doing math . I started working on maps too and as I can see my employer uses Mercator projection algorithm to calculate x,y. So my advice to you is to get started with that if you don't find service that will help you.

I'm building a flash app which requires some mapping functionality. It's relatively simple, so I'm not sure that it needs all the bells and whistles that come with using google's or yahoo's map services. Basically we have a static U.S./Canada map image (no pan or zoom) that has some interactive markers overlaid on it...pretty much a heatmap I guess. We're already set up with receiving the latitude and longitude coordinates, now i just need to translate that into x,y positions on the map. I know there are services out there that handle this, but I've been searching for a while and most of the results reference back to google or yahoo maps, so I'm thinking I'm not suing the right search terms. Does anyone know where I can get this done...or any other tips/advice that might help?
