One more that you should add to your mix is Maptitude for the Web. The developer's seat is $995, and the server license is $2995 for the first server/first year, and $995 each additional year. If you can create a map, you can create a web mapping application with Maptitude for the Web. It uses Mapplications, web mapping templates that, via a property settings, creates the ASP code you need for your web mapping application. Maptitude for the Web web mapping applications are very scalable. There is even built-in load balancing. Because Maptitude is a fast mapping engine, and maps are returned as PNG files (JPEG if necessary), response is quick, using a thin-client approach. Since Maptitude for the Web can read MapInfo TAB files (and ESRI Shapefiles, Oracle Spatial tables, etc.) as native formats, you have access to a wide variety of geographic file formats.
