Hi Mark,
OpenLayers is just the map display part of the puzzle. Once you move
into implementing the tracking yourself, and not using Google API
services, you will need road layer data (OpenStreetMap data comes to
mind here) and a back-end database (PostGIS/PostgreSQL or possibly
SpatiaLite or the spatial extension to MS SQL Server).

some suggestions. You could look at both SharpMap and DotSpatial as

Hi all
I'm trying to develop a vehicle tracking system
I'd planned to use the google maps api
However, someone mentioned they want lots of money per year to use
it, and
suggested openlayers instead
I'm really confused about the whole thing
Can i use openlayers (or anything else) and use the title maps
from google
maps and still get around the licence issue?
I'm a .net developer, but have no experience in maps so have a steep
learning curve
I would really appreciate some guidance on my options
Thanks all
Mark
