I'm impressed with the simplicity of Microsoft's Virtual Earth Street Address search service.

My requirement is to type rough address info with no comma separators into a simple text box, press a find button, wait a few seconds and then observe a result picklist.

I mocked up something here using the virtual earth SDK.

Does Google Maps have a similar API?

Which street address search service is better?
