Do your own map. FWIW, I regularly get inaccurate
maps from most of the mapping services, so don't
consider them worthwhile.
Make it simple enough to figure out where the business
is but free of unnecessary items, add the business
location info you need, and use that. Do it in an
illustration program like XaraX, Freehand, Canvas,
CorelDraw, or support your local graphics monopoly
and use Illustrator. Then you can use the same drawing
to produce a sharp, clear graphic for the web, as well
as good printed output.
Check the map that one of our vendors offers at their
site:
