MapStraction: “abstract away the differences between online mapping APIs”

MapStraction is a wiki placeholder for code that will ideally abstract away all the difference in the various free commercial and open source mapping APIs.

The idea is that if you can stick to to lowest common denominator features offered by all mapping APIs, and you use the API defined here to access them, then you can swap and change between different mapping providers with one line of code.

This is the answer to the question I noted was raised at our conference last week.
