I need a mapping service like Google maps, but for my intranet

I built the solution around google maps api, but realized that it does not work when I deploy it on my intranet. after reading it seems that you need the main service for this. Are there any other similar api tools that you can use for free on your intranet website?

EDIT: From what I read, it looks like Yahoo allows you to use your free maps on intranets. can anyone confirm that you are doing this.

I ended up using Yahoo maps, since it looks like you can use it on your own intranet, and it's as simple as using google maps

I would research OpenStreetMap :

A trap is not always accurate or complete information, but coverage in large cities is good, and the project continues to improve.

You can also look at Microsoft and Yahoo! license mapping.

Stumbled upon Ovi Maps, the successor to Yahoo Maps, when they withdraw their services. It looks pretty interesting.

Take a look at OpenLayers, which allows you to use various services (Google, OpenStreetMap, Bing, etc.).

I am new to this, but found the documentation here: http://docs.openlayers.org/library/index.html and here: http://workshops.opengeo.org/openlayers-intro/index.html is very useful

If you want to go one step further, you can create your own tile server.

You can easily get what you need from the site, for example this

You can also see http://leafletjs.com/ . Although Leaflet aims to be lighter than OpenLayers, OpenLayers is certainly a more mature project.

See this Comparison of OpenLayers and Sheets.
