Problem:
Rather than limiting CFMAP to Google API, why not support the industry standard javascript mapping library openlayers?Limiting CFMAP to the google api is bad vendor lockin, you can't use google for password protected sites, where as with open layers you can switch mapping providers without having to rewrite any javascripthttp://www.openlayers.org/That way any standard mapping library can be supported, Yahoo, VE, Google are supported out of the box and it means you can develop
