title: Virtual Earth or Google Maps
body: <p>Simple question, the answer may not be...</p>
  
  <p>I'm going to be developing a web app (ASP.NET MVC) for a client. They have asked me for an opinion on whether to use Google Maps or Virtual Earth for providing a mapping solution.</p>
  
  <p>Which would you go for and why? Or are there others you can recommend?</p>
  
  <p>What else do you need to know?</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Street view (or equivalent) won't be
  necessary in the near future, but
  one day it might.</li>
  <li>The client wants to identify certain
  mappable features, and beyond that
  find these features when within a
  specified distance.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What else should I be considering at a high level? Or my client?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
