I know this comes up occasionally on the list. But has any one tried this

been playing around w/it via ESRI's flex API, they have an example here:

outside the US (eg. thailand, australia) still kind of so-so in terms of
coverage & resolution (though it seems to be getting a bit better). better than
a sharp stick in the eye i guess for some apps.
we're also slowly eyeballing it to replace google maps in some geoserver based
apps (no, it will never really replace google maps in terms of data but since
the google flex bits are dead-ended, kind of no choice). looking at openscales
(seems to be another "dormant" flex project) to replace the google API--not sure
if modestmap is up to dealing w/geoserver (which provides local spatial data &
some analytical functionality).
