Comparing mapping tools, something simple to place truck icons on a map
I am writing an application for pizza delivery, taxis, trucks etc.

For the front end dispaly/ map render:
  • I am looking for a tool similar to mappoint with a map control, where I can place icons of trucks and update them(lat,long) as they move, draw a road, etc... do you know of any others besides Mappoint and what has your experience been?
  • What is the licensing scheme behind them, any suggestions on this as well?
  • Or if there is another map opensource/freeware you may have toyed with?
  • For starters I am looking at something a pizza store can afford. I could later consider the volume issues...
