Our locator CGI has the most power, most features, and most flexibility around (since 1997). Support for US and Canada. You can control the results you receive to the byte. Return XML, HTML, data that comes up with a MIME type to MS Excel pops up... your search can query web sites, search based on distance, any data in your database, use computed fields across the record or the entire database (compute an average and select locations within 50 miles that are also 10% above average sales level etc.) Integrates well with WebDNA, so that you can include WebDNA tags to be processed after the query of your data (embed tags or code for WebDNA or any other CGI / plugin). Also permits RELATIONAL searches: search for a location (let's say a store) that is within x miles and also stocks a particular product (useful for manufacturers that have a varied line of products). Compared to Win/Unix software saves you enough money to buy a license and a G5. If you have specific "can it do this" questions, let me know. It's not free, but you get 8 years of development and a great product.
