Given the subject, I expect I deserve to be banned here, but here's the issue:
I've written a free Open Source dispatching application based on GMaps capabilities. (I'm satisfied that it complies with the TOS.) Since it's free, it's drawn a good bit of interest fm the 'budget- challenged' emergency response communities, esp the hams who operate on a shoestring and provide emergency communications when the 'balloon has gone up'; like there's no, repeat, no, Internet access. So our need is for a source of map data/images that's free/cheap, that covers the US (at least) to a street-level resolution, and that has a decent API available. The fore-mentioned being what it takes, IMO, to provide for some kind of mapping capability without the Internet. (By the latter phrase, I mean that a web server/browser architecture/configuration wd be satisfactory if it cd operate without Internet access.) I've been poking around (Delorme, National Geographic) without success, but the collective experience here might be able to point me at possible solutions. Thanks, all.
