Can you explain a bit more what you want to do? Mapping from addresses sounds
like a GIS application (GIS is what makes GPS work, among other things... it's
the data that the program uses when it shows you where on a map you are, instead
of just what your lat/long are, and the data that you search when you put an
address in to find out how to get there)
Are you saying you have a DB with company addresses in it and you want that
displayed on a rendered map? or something else.
Offhand I would say one person to talk to would be Ken Koleda (MichLTC ILTCO
rep) as he works with GIS apps in his job, IIRC.
