Also on a side note, I prefer google maps API to yahoo, but with limited knowledge in vb.net was struggling to parse the complex, unnecessarily complex in my opinion..., response from goolge. The idea behind the codes structure would not change though.

Anyways, for what I built all you really need is the Yahoo Maps API, read their documentation on its use, and vb.net that will parse Yahoo Maps API response. That's really all that's to it.
