Hi mozzers,

Can someone tell me which type of map is best when embedding it into your service pages?  or any map is good enough? Why?

Thanks guys!

I think the Google Maps API is the best way to go for your site. Not that Google can't or won't read from a Bing map, its just an opinion based on Google being 70% plus of search. Assuming you have done the rest of Local correctly, this is not difficult to use and is of benefit. I also think the fact you are geolocating the business with a maps API is a plus for you.

Best,

Robert

Edit Note: There is a business API and a regular API for maps. I would suggest the regular as it is free to use and the features are fairly strong. If you have a larger business, more searchers, etc. take a look at the Maps Business API.
