I agree.
There are serious obstacles to developing real map system, most important being limited free geographical data of decent quality.
I say forget mapping. Just put in coordinates into physical location pages, and let the mapping software companies do their magic.
What do the world need the mapping companies for ? Most of the mapping is being done by the governments, for taxpayers' money, so the data should be available for free. Unfortunately, except for the US, it isn't.
Once we have the data, the software itself isn't that difficult.
