Hey Folks,

I'm working on an application that has a requirement for generating a world
map showing outlets for a particular product. There are *lots* of outlets
and they are updated very frequently so the spec is that the map should be
able to render a new outlet in the correct location on the world map based
on address only.

Anyone done this before and care to offer any suggestions? Right now I am
thinking I will need to acquire a db of city/long/lat or else find a public
webservice that accepts an international address and returns long/lat info.
Then I'm thinking I'll just need a scale map in my swf that approximates to
the long/lat grid so can place the new outlet in the right position.

Any advice or tales of woe appreciated.

Clark
