Maps services

[Mr. Tomaszek]

Hi,
I want to put in my web app some links that will display map along with a dot or something on it that indicates given location (address or GPS coordinates - doesn't matter at this point). I know that it could be done using http://local.live.com/ but did someone hear about other similar services? The best for me would be if I could grab the bitmap and show it in my app not having to redirect user to different web page.

Any help appreciated,
