Mike:
I'm not familiar with mapQuest, so I won't comment that one.
I was just wondering:
If you opt for the 'home-made' printable map solution, why use QTVR?
QTVR is mostly used for a quasi-3D environment. Since a map is flat, you
just need to move a 2D bitmap or vector image around. There's a good
tutorial on that at DOUG, if you search for 'scrolling bitmap' or
something like that. Hotspots, then, could either be shapes with a
lineSize of 0, which you place relative to the upper left corner of your
bitmap,and reset every time the user finishes scrolling, or they could
be areas defined with Lingo.
My 2 cents,
