Mapping service and API

I am building an application that will need to use a mapping service to locate a set of addresses, and include said map with its reporting features. Meaning that it would be beneficial if there was an easy way to convert the map into something printable.

I haven't started designing the application yet, but I will probably write it in Python. I am aware of Google static maps, and it looks promising, especially the method of assigning waypoints (it is exactly what I need), but the map is limited to 640x640, so I was wondering if there are other options that would work well.

Thank you for your input.

I know this post is a bit old, but the MapQuest Static Maps Web Service might be worth a look for anyone else who has a similar need. The maximum dimensions of a static map request are 2048X2048, so a bit bigger than 640X640. If you have any questions, check out the forums on the MapQuest Developer Network.

You could try and create your own 640x640 tiles, then do some post-cleaning up before stitching them together. Or, generate a kml file of the addresses and use another mapping service?
